What's in this update

  • PTT lead can be applied in two different ways:

(1) PTT1/PTT2 are delayed to PA/LNA PTT (2) PTT1/PTT2 are started simultaneously with PA/LNA PTT and CW is delayed Up to this version the second case was used only when PTT was i​nitiated by WinKey or serial CW.

In all other cases (like foot switch, serial PTT, WK command PTT ...) the first way was used.

Since this version it is performed consistently with the current mode.

The second ca​se is used in CW mode and the first case in all other modes regardless of what initiates PTT.

  • bug fixed: When "CW in VOICE" was enabled serial CW generated PTT also in VOICE mode. Now consistently both serial CW and WinKey CW generates PTT only in CW mode. They don't generate PTT in VOICE at all.
