[Tlf-devel] another wpx bug report

[Martin Kratoska]

My first contest with tlf. It behaved quite well, however there are some 
missing features and bugs making the work a less pleasure in high rate 
situations.

- if the call field is not empty the freq does not update

- if the call field is not empty there is impossible to change the CW speed

- the multiplier list (Alt-m) did not work

- there is a bug in partial check. LY4A was not recognized properly after I 
worked LY4AR. Insted LY4AA was displayed which was never worked...

- the RIT clear function acted after a QSO was finished. This is meaningless, 
the RIT should be zeroed if CQ starts. I would appreciate a special character 
causing RIT zeroing which can be inserted into the CW message (like TR does)

- the scoring procedure seems incorrect. I tried to get score using the POST 
program from the TR package. The mults are processed differently, S5047L is 
in tlf processed as S50 but in TR's POST as S5047. The wpx rules said nothing 
about these strange prefixes.

- if a station-multiplier was called and logged by mistake, then deleted with 
(- minus) sign and later logged again it was no multiplier.

- worked stations should be displayed in different colour in partial lists

cwdaemon worked correctly (the 0.8), PTT not tested yet. I am very curious if 
the paddle support will became reality a time...

I made SOSB-TS 80M HP entry, 

   BAND   Raw QSOs   Valid QSOs   Points   Prefixes   
 _____________________________________________________

   80CW      698         698       1756      410 
 _____________________________________________________

   Totals      698         698       1756      410 

    Final Score = 719960 points.

which means that tlf is not too bad :-)
