[Tlf-devel] Autosend feature - first tests

[Martin Kratoska]

Hi Tom,

there is something strange. tlf does not see now hamlib, so no radio 
control :-(

The Autosend option works but not exactly as meant. The auto sending 
begins with the character count as set with :char command, this is OK. 
Setting :char to 4 actually moves the cursor to the exchange field while 
tlf is sending 2nd character. Therefore the op has not time till 4th 
character is finished, here I have time actually only till 1st character 
is completed.

> Some comments:
> - Set autostart with ':char' as before (0 - off, 2..5 sets, ESC keeps
>    old value)
> - timeout is 0.7s (enough if you get a hiccup while typing, short enough
>    to work even at 30 wpm and very short calls
> - call will accept also '/' and '?' characters

> Please test and report back.

> I think autosend is only useful in RUN mode. I will block it for S&P if
