CW Macros might not working on CW for contests fields on v0.40. #517

Open vazquezrodjoel opened 1 day ago

vazquezrodjoel commented 1 day ago

Had problems with the CW macros for contest exchange... was either not sending the exchange or sending the whole string like "5NN EXCHSTR TU"

Also, no the help when I hover the Profile fields, it says the field shold be EXCSTR, but the initial settings wiki says MYEXCHSTR, so maybe Im just entering the wrong shortcut... Here are my settings: Screenshot from 2024-11-24 17-41-02

I think it should be EXCHSTR, give that a shot.

Wiki has been fixed. As Michael mentioned, it should be <EXCHSTR> and it send your Exchange String.

just tested without any issue. My testing macro is:

TEST <EXCHNR> <EXCHNRN> <EXCHSTR> the result is

TEST 001 TT1 EXCHANGE

with following QSO params:

Ok, is not working. Please notice in my screenshot, my settings, the field set on the new contact, and the cw console with just 5nn TU when I pressed F2. Screenshot from 2024-11-25 11-45-00

Just FYI in case is relevand, I upgraded to v 0.40 over with apt-get upgrade on ubuntu 24.04.

Ok, I find out that after making changes on the settings for the macros, I had to change the CW Profile on the CW Console. It does not apply them right away. Which is interesting, because when I set wrongly \<MYEXCHSTR>, it did transmited that as a text, like 5NN MYEXCHSTR TU, so its weird...

So lesson learned, when making changes to the CW Profile, change the profile back and forward to apply the changes.
