WinWarbler Online Help Contents

If the waterfall right-click box is unchecked, right-clicking in the tuning display unchecks the net setting and sets the transmission frequency; if the waterfall right-click box is checked, you must depress the CTRL key while right-clicking in the tuning display to set the transmission frequency. Checking the net box causes transmission frequency to automatically follow the selected receive channel's frequency; the net box will automatically be unchecked and disabled if operating in FSK. The transmission frequency is continuously displayed in the transmit panel.

Information to be transmitted is entered into the transmit pane by direct keystroke; to clear information entered into the transmit pane, click the X button on the transmit pane's right margin. To increase the number of text lines visible in the transmit pane, click the resize button on the transmit pane's right margin. Sixteen macro buttons provide an alternative means of supplying information to be transmitted; macros can automatically transmit your callsign, the callsign, name, and QTH of the station with whom you are in QSO, incoming and outgoing signal reports, the current UTC time or date, and the contents of files.

To initiate transmission, click the Start button in the transmit panel, or strike the F2 key, or strike the Insert key; the Start button is immediately disabled, and remains so until transmission terminates. Initiating transmission enables the transmit panel's Stop, and Abort buttons. As information is transmitted, its displayed in the currently selected receive pane using a white font to differentiate it from received information.  If you are simultaneously receiving RTTY via both soundcard and external modem and wish to transmit via the soundcard, you must select the soundcard RTTY receive pane before initiating transmission; do so by clicking the mouse anywhere within the soundcard RTTY receive pane -- its channel label will turn red to indicate this selection.

To terminate transmission when all information to be transmitted has been sent, click the Stop button in the transmit panel, or strike the F4 key, or strike the Enter key while depressing the CTRL key.

To immediately terminate transmission, click the Abort button in the transmit panel, or strike the Esc key. Any un-transmitted information is discarded.

Clicking the right mouse button on the transmit display pane produces a pop-up menu with two commands:

Entering CTRL-V into the transmit display pane also initiates the Paste (transmit from clipboard) operation.

If you are using AFSK, you can transmit reversed tones by checking the Transmit panel's reverse box.  Modifying this checkbox automatically updates the transmit setting in the Reverse panel on the Config window's RTTY tab.
