Hi Ervin, thanks for the quick response. I was not able to respond that quickly.

I meant the field that is activated after filling out the callsign. But maybe it was just me being confused since other softwares (UCX Log) fill in the number only after you entered the callsign. But as you explained below its the number before the callsign. > > Or is the field in front of the callsign supposed to be > > that field? > > that's _your_ exchange, which you (need) to send. > > The "received" exchange field is right to the callsign field. Thanks for the explanation. As described above I was confused by the order of those fields. > Tlf fills it automatically in some cases (eg.

Thanks, I am looking into using TLF for the DARC CW-Region1-Fieldday. The Website says TLF is usable for that but I could not find a rules file for it, so I am currently crafting my own. Would you be interested in a pull-request for that or did I just not find it? > > In that case what should the effect of LONG_SERIAL and > > SHORT_SERIAL be? It seems that it does not have any effect. > > SHORT_SERIAL will send the shortest form of numbers, eg. 9 -> N, > 0 -> T, ... Ah ok that is only for sending. I was assuming it would be for the display. E.g. 001 instead of 0001 before the callsign field. Thanks for the clarifications, 73 and cheers Heiko (DH3IKO) _______________________________________________ Tlf-devel mailing list Tlf-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tlf-devel
