P3 "feature" request

k6dgw
Asking for new features seems to have become common, you'd think Wayne
was Santa Claus and the employees were his elves.  I'd like to weigh in
with one for me ...

I've gotten a bit active in NTS, I even agreed to NCS one night a week.
  I was very active in NTS in the mid-50's as a teenager.  My P3 is
really cool for picking working frequencies up and down.  However, I'm
having a problem remembering where I send who for what.  I'd like a
feature that would put a tag with a call sign on the signal when I send
someone up or down for traffic.  This shouldn't be too hard. ;-))  I'm
willing to type the call, although picking it out of my Notepad notes
would be icing on the cake.

I'll leave cookies, milk, and a Corona out Christmas Eve, take your pick.

73,

How about CWskimmer? It will help you track where you have sent them... ;>)

If we are in the realm of science fiction, here is what I want (after my flying car):

Ever miss a letter in a call or aren't sure if a DX station came back to you? The information is still there, sitting in the memory of the P3, scrolling down the waterfall. On a large monitor it is there for a long time. What if you could click on a spot on the screen with a mouse and play it back? Instant replay!

This is exactly the effect you get with cocoModem on PSK. Click
on the waterfall and everything from then to now is decoded,
possibly again. With two decoding windows (like VFOs), I
generally tune around with both but use both to decode while
making a QSO. The slightly different decoding frequencies (1-2
Hz at most) give complimentary results.

I would love to have this feature in any system with a waterfall.

Even better would be if someone could develop software to display logger
bandmap on the P3SVGA monitor.

That's actually pretty much what I have used CW Skimmer for in several
contests.  I feed the audio from my K3 into my computer sound card, and
I use CW Skimmer in "Audio Mode" (essentially single single frequency
audio bandwidth) without the decoding feature enabled.  In other words,
I use CW Skimmer purely for it's excellent waterfall (sharpest and
clearest I've seen amongst similar software) that scrolls from right to
left so that the display can be visibly decoded by eye in the proper
orientation (reading left to right).  I even wrote a couple of
AutoHotKey macros to have CW Skimmer pause/unpause the display when I
realize I've missed a character. Even without the pause macro I can fit
about twelve seconds worth of readable history on my 22 inch display.

It took a bit of recalibration to learn how to decode by eye and I don't
have to use it often, but at times it comes in very handy to avoid
repeat requests.

I was joking.  Apparently "cookies, milk, and a Corona on Christmas Eve"
wasn't as obvious as I thought it would be.
