[Dxbase] How to edit macros in AXETTY?

[Gary AL9A]

Knut,

I know they are different systems, but AXETTY runs fine for me under Vista 
Home Premium 32 bit.  As Joe has said, to modify the macros RIGHT click on 
an F key to open the macro editing window.  Here you can label the F key 
with a new title and edit or add new macro code.  You can also call an 
existing txt file of info to be sent - station info, antennas, personal 
stuff, etc.

With 4 banks of 12 macros in each bank Joe has certainly provided ample 
possibilities for various macros.  I find I get confused by what macros do 
what despite the reminder note that pops up when you put the cursor on the 
macro button.  I've tried to arrange my macro banks into different operating 
scenarios. For example, Macros 1 (Home) has macros for rag chewing.  Macros 
2 is for S&P when chasing DX.  Macros 3 is for calling CQ and running 
(hopefully) a pile up.  Macros 4 is undefined at the moment.  Your could 
probably use a bank for contest exchanges, but as Joe has indicated AXETTY 
is really just for casual operating and lacks several contest features such 
as sequential numbering and dupe checking.  If you want contest performance 
you need to check out various contest loggers.  I use WriteLog with the 
MMTTY plug in so the RTTY interface between DXBase and WriteLog is very 
similar.  I believe several other contest loggers (NIMM?) also use the MMTTY 
engine for their RTTY interface.

73,

Thanks Joe, for the efforts with AXETTY. I have tried it, and would like to
use it in some contests, I hope...
I would like to modify the keyboard hotkeys (macros), but havn't cracked the
code. Tried to edit the file containing the macro strings, but it didn't
work.
Is there a secret in the software or in my Vista Home Professional 64x ?

Gary and all DXbase users:

I have just posted the updated version 2.30 of the DxbPSK.exe
program at my website.  The LINK is at the "top of the webpage" at:

http://www.navycthistory.com/wa6axe/selection.html


Background: Gary (AL9A) found a bug in my DxbPSK.exe program --
where the SLASHED-ZERO was sent over to DXbase itself -- this is the
same bug that AXETTY had -- and I shud have caught it and made the
correction when I posted version 2.29 ... Tnx Gary for BETA testing
the program once again!!!
