2. In the Log screen, when you enter a call and press
TAB
, the SideKar
Decoder Edition
will check for
duplicates in the log. Remember a dupe is defined
differently for each contest. For example, for Field Day,
it is the same call on the same band and same mode. A
different contest may allow you to work a call only once
per band, regardless of the mode. SideKar
Decoder
Edition
knows the rules per contest.
Note: It’s a good idea to clear the log before starting a
contest, as all entries in the log are checked for Dupes.
3. If a duplicate is found,
“DUPE” will be displayed for a
few seconds.
4. You can still log the duplicate QSO if you like.
5. Once you enter a call and hit TAB, the call is saved
internally (not logged yet) and can be used in messages
(same as using Alt-C or Grab & Go). Remember to hit
TAB and not ENTER. ENTER will save the QSO in the
log, as always.
6. You can press an F key to send a message right from
the log.
7. You can clear the call and exchange by hitting Alt-W
(Wipe). Alt-W also clears the call stored using Alt-C or
Grab & Go at the same time.
A typical sequence might be:
Setup:
-
Hit
Alt-A
to select Field Day
-
Set up a message to send your call
-
Set up a second message to send the other
person’s
call and an exchange (i.e. ! 599 CO)
