From Terry N4TZ,

4.46.9 does not respond to split frequency request (the minus key) to enter split frequency.

ny4i commented 8 years ago

From the TRLog manual,

alt-N

The alt-N command will put your Kenwood or Yaesu radio into split mode and set the transmit VFO to the frequency entered. You can enter just the last three digits of the frequency in most cases. You can also activate this function with the single dash key, allowing you to enter the frequency by using only the numeric keypad (in NUM LOCK mode).

Did the - part get dropped somewhere along the way?

Starting 4.46.13 CTRL plus the minus key will TOGGLE split. Generally available 4.47

I'm curious why it can't be -?

n4af commented 8 years ago

maybe http://www.delphigroups.info/3/2c/8807.html

When you have the answer, I would like to know which of the string theory 11 dimensions we occupy ?

Changed window menu item to again support the dash (minus) key fixed 4.47.3 NOTE: menu selection for TX FREQ is now under COMMANDS

Resurrecting an old issue. I see now why just using the - key is not a reasonable way to do this since the program uses it as an accelerator. I suspect if instead of an accelerator, it was handled in the CallWindowKeyDown or KeyUp, we could make it context sensitive. I would think that a - pressed only when there is nothing in the call or exchange window would be the way to go to the set TX split frequency.

I ran into this as I was adding a new "contest" type of POTA. POTA parks have a dash in the name of the park like K-1234. We can just tell the user to not press the - but it would be better to show up as we type it.

I will look further into making the dash something besides an accelerator in the RES file.

I removed the - key as an accelerator and handled it in the callWindowKeyDown procedure. This way we can use - in other places where it makes sense.
