Thanks Fabio,
I got it to work using F1. I looked in the programmer reference and I
believe
SWT31 will tap M2
and
SWT35 will tap M3
and
SWT39 will tap M4
I dont understand the significance of the 10 ?? If I want to add an additional
F key would I make it 11 ?? Do I add another line in the .ini file
Macro_11=SWT31 ??
Am I on the right track?
I wasn't able to make AUTO CQ work either. I have used that function
many times in CW and RTTY but not SSB. Does the F number in ALT-T
have to be the same as the CQ key?
Sorry I am so thick, but I would like to understand. Thank you for
you time Fabio.
