I have two and one is a rerun.
I, as well as many others, work topband and twice a day we have to go
into the alerts and check or uncheck the topbands. In most case this
means 30CW, 40CW, 40SB, 80CW, 80SB, 160CW, and 160SB. That is seven
checks plus then you have to click on OK when done. I propose one of
two solutions. The first would be to have these bands setup on a user
definable timer. For instance in Mich. we loose prop about 11:00z and
get it back about 23:00z. The ultimate solution would be for DXB to
auto check all of them at 23:00 and uncheck them at 11:00. A second
solution would be to have one box to check which in turn would put a
check in all seven or to uncheck that box would uncheck all seven.
My other suggestion is much simpler. When your in your QSO Log and
you click FIND you always have to click on UP as it is defaulted to
down. I suggest having it default to UP instead.
Just thought of a third one. When in Previous QSO window I think we
should have the option to delete a record. Of course there should be
a following warning but at least we could still delete a record
there. In some cases you work several Q's of a dxpedition just to
find out when you get the cards that one is not in the log. As it
stands today you have to get out of Previous QSO window and go into
QSO LOG to do the deletion.
Hope it all makes sense. Great program even without any upgrades...
