Laurent just made it a lot easier to access the 8th and 9th MK2R DVK messages from Win-Test, using a new LUA API found in the <a href="http://download.win-test.com/v4/nightly">development version</a>. Just create 2 new LUA script files named DVK8.wts and DVK9.wts and assign them to F8 and F9 using Tools | Scripts Manager:<div>
<br></div><div>DVK8.wts:</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap; ">wtMicroham:Send("MP8")</span></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="monospace"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: medium;">return -1</span></font></div></blockquote><div><div><div><br></div><div>DVK9.wts:</div>
<div><br></div></div></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap; ">wtMicroham:Send("MP9")</span></div>
</div></div><div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap; ">return -1</span></div></div></div></blockquote><div><div><div><br></div><div>Then run WT_DEV.EXE instead of WT.EXE and press F8 or F9 to play DVK messages 8 and 9.</div>

</div><div><br>Alt-C messages are ignored on SSB, so that will not work. $MK2R only seems to work within scenarios.<br><br>Perhaps Win-Test could provide a new LUA API such as <br><br><div style="margin-left:40px">wtMK:Send(<i>string)</i> -- send command string to microHAM control port<br>
</div> <br>In the mean time, I've created <a href="http://www.kkn.net/%7En6tv/PlayDVK8and9.zip" target="_blank">two LUA scripts</a> called PlayDVK8 and PlayDVK9 that will allow you to access these last two DVK messages. Copy the two .wts files to your /Scripts directory (File | Explore | /scripts directory)<br>
<br>You will have to "borrow" the F6 and F7 messages from the advanced scenario, secondary radio column to do this, and they will have to be programmed in a special way, as you already figured out.<br><ol><li>Operating | Modify the Scenarios ...<br>

<br>Of course now you have to be careful to avoid pressing F6 or F7 whenever you manually set focus to the secondary radio window.<br><br></div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex">
Using ByeByeCT I could generate 2 more SSB messages. WT guys, is this doable? Or any other place I could put this command other than scenarios F1-F7 and send to MK2R+?<br></blockquote></div><div><br>I suggest disabling ByeByeCT and assigning F8 and F9 to the two new LUA scripts, as suggested above.</div>
