bug during arrl-dx-ssb

Unread post by N3PPH »

While working the contest I accidentally hit the tab key one too many times. This caused the highlighted window to be the received rst. The only way to continue was to close down the program and restart it. I fat fingered the keyboard a few more times, the behavior happened every time.

I'm not sure what your fingers made. Hitting the Tab key will cycle around the active fields: Callsign-->RX Number-->RX rst-->TX rst-->Callsign
When you are trapped in a rst field, you have to enter a valid signal report. Most probably 59 for phone and 599 for CW and Digital. Maybe you haven't set the mode after start up or a failure in rig control?
