CQ Repeat not repeating

Post by hb9bun »

CQCQ and Reply button work nicely, but whatever time I set for the repeat timer, the messages are not repeated. Is there any other setting (except repeat time) to enable repetition. Installed 2.8.0.118 (but had the effect before with .116).

It only works for the CQCQ button. Set the timer to 2.0 and it will repeat after 2 seconds (unless you MOX/PTT or click the CQCQ button a 2nd time)

I updated so the colors on the button change from Blue (off), to Red (TX), to Orange (Waiting).
If you dont see the colors, then go and download .118 again and install. You may need to install 2 times (select Repair the 2nd time) because I made updates to .118

Thanks. No question. It should only work for CQCQ ...
I now found the reason. When VAC is in addtion on, pushing CQCQ goes to the message, after finishing it turns automatically VAC on again and this switches off the Repeat function. Is this done intentionally?
Without VAC simultanously on, it works as expected, with the great new color feature in .118.
