Send-on-type keys each character as it is typed, which only the WinKeyer
and Flex CWX can do -- so the checkbox is shown for those two alone. The
stored preference, however, survives a change of engine: an operator who
had used it on a WinKeyer and moved to CI-V carried an invisible switch
that was still on.
The consequences fit the report exactly. Nothing keyed while typing,
because wkSendRaw falls through to the WinKeyer that is not there; and
Enter sent nothing either, because sendText believes the text has already
gone out. Macros take another path and kept working.
The panel now derives the flag from the engine rather than trusting the
stored value.
The radio has a keyer and a command to feed it (KY), so an FTDX10 needs no
WinKeyer and no second cable, exactly as the Icom CI-V and Flex CWX engines
already do. The rig keys with its own timing, which is why the spacing is right
where a PC keying a line through USB latency drifts.
Text is filtered to what the keyer can actually send: an unsupported byte does
not produce an error on a Yaesu, it can abort the whole buffer, so the rest of a
macro would vanish silently. It is then fed in 24-character pieces, waiting for
room between them — the rig DROPS what does not fit, again with no error, so a
contest CQ would lose its tail.
STOP is the honest gap. Yaesu documents no buffer-clear, so it drops the
transmitter (TX0) instead: nothing queued reaches the air, which is what Escape
means to an operator. It deliberately does NOT send "KY0;" — a plausible-looking
clear that the rig would read as the CHARACTER zero and transmit.
A test caught a real one on the way: tabs and newlines were dropped as
"unsupported", gluing the words either side together, so a macro written on two
lines went out as CQCQ. Whitespace now becomes a word gap before filtering.
Settings warn when the Yaesu keyer is selected without the Yaesu CAT backend —
otherwise it simply never keys, with nothing on screen saying why.
Send path follows the CAT reference and how Hamlib drives these rigs; NOT yet
verified on the air.
- Zoom: our own Ctrl+wheel zoom (CSS zoom on the root, 50–250%), persisted in
localStorage and restored at startup; Ctrl+0 resets. Replaces the non-persistent
native WebView2 zoom. The freq-digit wheel now ignores Ctrl so it passes through
to zoom.
- Award column widths: they were stripped from AG Grid's saved column state (that
strip fixes a visibility desync) which also dropped their width. Now persisted
separately per award code (localStorage + portable DB copy) and re-applied on
rebuild/reopen.
- CW keyer widget: macros padded to 9 (F1–F9 slot) and empty macros hidden like
the voice keyer, with the F-number kept tied to the real macro index so the
F-key shortcuts still line up. New QRZ? default for F9.
