Release 10.0 - 1 Jan 2004 This is a major release because the binary format of the .bin files has changed. The record now has an extra 14 bytes of name information for contests such as NAQP and NA Sprint. The version 9 record size was 50 bytes per QSO, the version 10 record size is 64 bytes. * NAQP is now supported * NA Sprint is now supported * There are two new conversion utilities - 9TO10 and 10TO9 The windows versions of these programs are packaged with CTWin and can be found in C:\Program Files\K1EA Software\CtWin. The DOS versions have the same names and can be found in CT10_00.ZIP If you convert a version 10 NAQP or NASprint log to 9, you will lose all the name information in the log. Otherwise, you should be able to convert freely between 9 and 10. Clearly, I have not been able to test the thousands of combinations of contests, categories, modes, bands, radios with and without networking. If you find a bug, please verify that is does or does not work in version 9. Bugs still outstanding in 9 will be fixed in 10 only. 10.00.004 - 30 Jan 2004 * Tweaked NA Qso Party and Sprint * New command line switch for K5KA (-KA) When this switch is turned on the F4 will not send your call if the call in the callsign field is a dupe. Instead a dupe message comes up. 10.01.004 - 4 Apr 2004 * Fixed the DVP repeat mode (tnx AD1C) * Fixed TS850 radio control (tnx K3CT) * Fixed FT100 radio control (tnx VE5SF) * Fixed FT890 radio control (tnx N7FLT) * Fixed IC756 series split control * fixed Gab Window timeout of -1 (tnx K1CA) SETGAB of -1 or FOREVER now actual keeps the gab window from closing on its own * The VHF contest name for the Cabrillo log is now ARRL-VHF-JAN, ARRL-VHF-JUN, ARRL-UHF-AUG or ARRL-VHF-SEP based on the month of the first QSO in the log. * Fixed CQ160 Cabrillo output to generate categories the robot likes. * Fixed ARRL VHF Cabrillo output to generate categories the robot likes. * OFFICIAL.RAC is now found via CTPATH the same way other .DAT files are found * Added Cabrillo output to RAC tests. This needs validation by the RAC folks. Note: VE stations must enter their province when starting the progam.

This is used by multiops with a second receiver finding new stations. * Ctrl Down Arrow now controls the DVP input gain again. It had previously been re-mapped for use in partner mode. * UA9I now mapped to CQWW Zone 18 UA9M now mapped to CQWW Zone 17 (tnx AD1C) * Fixed IC751 support * Fixed WPX parsing: E20HHK/4 parses to E24 M/AD1C parses to M0 AD1C/M parses to AD1 9Q/F6BLQ parses to 9Q0 special cases such as RW1AI/ANT now parse to RW1, not ANT0 (tnx AD1C) * Fixed rewrite of cty.dat file after a country setting operation such as VP8DJK=VP8/h (tnx AD1C) * Allow ct.cfg to set baud rate up 57600 * Fixed the "Check Partial window is not restored properly on reboot" problem. * Fixed 4U60UN=4U1U created extra mults in ARRL 160 test * Fixed the extra ZS8 entries when re-writing CTY.DAT * Fixed QSO B4 problem.

Insert is pressed CT will send the other stations call, then "QSO B4" As a reminder, you can send QSO B4 anytime manually by pressing ALT F7 (tnx N6TV) * New Behavior When INS is pressed, the CALLSIGN and MULT windows are updated to let the operator see what bands the station and mult are needed on while the reprot is being sent. I should have added this feature 20 years ago. (tnx K3CT) * Fixed dupe checking problem in CQP (tnx K1EP) * New Behavior Keyboard translation is inhibited when in the Gab Window and Notes Windows * Fixed the +/- speed control inside CW messages. (tnx K3CT) * The -TT command line switch is deprecated. This was the AA6TT switch at one time. * Changed Feature Partner mode has changed a bit. As before, prepare for partner mode by typing PARTNER and in the callsign field, then enter your partner's station number. You each should do this. Enter partner mode with ALT F11. Your cursor and focus stay in the regular callsign window, but the black partner window shows up on your partner's computer. Thereafter, the partner window on the other computer tracks your callsign field. Both ops can enter partner mode and see exactly what the other op types. This can be used for trading insults, as well as callsigns. Ctrl Down Arrow no longer swaps the contents for the callsign and partner fields. On CW you may use Ctrl Insert to answer the callsign in the partner window. 10.03.003 * fixed a very old windowing bug that shortens windows without borders after a COLORS operation. This caused the time window to lose the seconds digit.
