Number 6 key

[Vincent Lecler]

Hi Yuri and all, 

With F6IIT, we found the problem with the 6 key during a contest. Using an English keyboard, we no longer have any issues. With a French keyboard, the number 6 key no longer works in contest mode.

In earlier versions, we did not have this problem.

Is it possible to change this so that the 6 key can be used in contest mode ?

Thanks in advance

Have a nice sunday

Try assigning the F6 key as a hotkey for any function. See which key the program recognizes? It should be like this:

Hi Yuri, 

It's not the F6 key but the 6 key that no longer works in contest mode.

For example, if I type F6IIT, FIIT appears in the QSO window.

All the other numbers work except 6

In this case, check in Hotkeys tab to see what the program received when you press the 6 key. If you do not see 6, then the problem is outside the program.

Yuri, 

The 6 key works everywhere except in contest mode.

Try with a french keyboard.

The problem is inside the program

[UT4LW Yuri Pavlov]

On a French keyboard layout, the 6 key creates a hotkey for "minus" - "-".

Open the "Hotkeys" tab and sort the table by the "Key" column. You will see that the "-" key is reserved for transmitting CW dots from the keyboard. Disable this hotkey:

1. Double-click on the "QSO CW-DOT" line.
2. Click the "Clear" button.
3. Click the "Save" button.
