<div>Dear team,</div><div><br></div><div>I too found the behaviour of ESM a little unpredictable during IARU and frequently had to revert to ESC+ F keys to send repeats etc I think what Bob says makes a whole lot of sense...</div>
<div><br></div><div>Nonetheless I found lots of the features in version 4 great (esp mp3 recording)! Thanks for your support!</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div>

want a long CQ I hit an F key.)<br>
Pressing Return with Call and cursor in Call field sends my exchange and<br>advances cursor to the exchange field where I am ready to amend the received<br>exchange where the guess proves incorrect.<br>If asked for a repeat of exchange I press Spacebar before Return. The<br>
cursor returns to the Call field and a repeat exchange is sent.<br>Pressing Return while the cursor is in the exchange field sends TU $CR. If<br>I want to follow TU with Mycall I press Return twice.<br><br>The above takes a lot of words to describe but in essence I can make my<br>
short CQ (mycall) and go on to complete a run of Qs using only the Return<br>key aside from entering the station Calls of course. If a station asks for<br>a repeat I need only preceed a Return with Spacebar. From cursor position<br>
and field content I always know what will happen when I next press Return.<br>I decide exactly when I want to follow a Q with Mycall and when I don't.<br><br>Sorry about the bandwidth. It's just, as I think you will understand by<br>
now, I really would like WT4 to offer this flexibility in ESM.<br><br>Regards.<br><br>Bob, 5B4AGN, P3F</span><br>-- <br>Marios<br><br>
