=========================================== CW_PLAYER =========================================== Írta: G. Rivat F6DQM =========================================== Ez a szabadon felhasználható (Freeware) program, mely hagyományos morze-kódokat, Q-kódokat, rövidítéseket, véletlen karaktersorozatokat és szövegfájlokat generál. Ellenorzi a tudásodat egy kvíz tesztjével és segít Neked, hogy jól billentyuzzél a morze jeleid ellenorzésével. Billentyuzésed adás közbeni ellenorzésével a képernyon, elosegíti, hogy kevesebb stresszel és nagyobb biztonsággal vehessél részt a forgalmazásban. Megfelelo szoftverrel visszajátszható hangfájlokat (*.wav) készít a morzejelekrol. Saját magad készíthetsz helyi karaktereket. Egy 20 részes leckesorozaton át tanulhatod meg a morze jeleket. Tartalmukat saját kedved szerint alakíthatod is. A CW_Player hangkártyát és legalább Win95-ös (vagy fejlettebb) operációs rendszert igényel. FONTOS: Ha a programot WinXP/NT/2000 alatt használod az IOCTRL.DLL fájlt a Windows/System32 könyvtárba kell másolnod. Win 2000 alatt kérlek futtassad a port2000.reg bejegyzést! Aztán indítsd újra a rendszert! A Súgóból pár javaslat jelenik meg, ha az egér a kezeloszervek, vagy szövegmezok fölött áll. Ha Vista alatt nem tudod a súgót megnyitni, kérlek látogass el a http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6EBCFAD9D3F5-4365-8070-334CD175D4BB&displaylang=en oldalra A windows másolás (Ctrl+C) és beillesztés (Ctrl+V) parancsai használhatók a visszajátszásnál a véletlen sorozat egy részének kimásolásával és a szövegmezobe illesztésével. Illetve egy fájlba is másolhatod, amit a kedvenc szövegszerkesztoddel nyithatsz meg. (megjegyzem, a szöveg ablak csak egy rekordot fogad, ezért csak egy ASCII fájl másolható ebbe az ablakba.) Ez a program foként a rádióamator honlapokról töltheto le. Azzal a céllal, hogy segítse a kezdo távírászok és nem rádióamatorök morze tanulását és részükre a rövidhullámok megismerését. Tehát ne habozz ajánlani ezt a programot a látogatóidnak, ha rádióamator tartalmú honlapod van. Noha, ezt a programot saját morze tanulásodra használhatod, vagy a morze-oktatód is használhatja, de élo adásban is használható, ha a hangártyád kimenetét az SSB vagy FM adóvevot mikrofon bemenetére csatlakoztatod. Élvezd és okozz másnak is örömet a morzéval. G.

Though this new release should be compatible with your older CWPLAYER.DAT file, it is recommanded to delete or to replace the old data file with the joined one before running this new release for the first time. You will have to redefine your local characters but the job is not too hard ! Version 1.8.2 ============= - The number of choosen characters for random and quiz modes is extended to 50. This allows greater character combinations. Characters may be repeated several times, that way they will be played more often than others.

Then they will be played three times more often than the others. - Back-up and restart of the program with the last "Choosen characters" configuration. The back-up file is CWPLAYER.DAT. - Availability to create your own local characters such as stressed vowels. Many countries have got such local characters which specific morse codes. This also allows you to assign dedicated keys to specials characters such as SK (end of work) or AS (wait). These local characters will played in all modes. When existing, they are saved in the back-up file CWPLAYER.DAT. Version 1.8.1 ============= -Creation of keyboard shortcuts for all controls and choices.

The STOP button has to be depressed to recover choices and controls. - Supplying of PTT command signals to your TRX from a COM port. A circuit example is drawn in file PC_TX.BMP. The scheme assumes that a positive voltage is present on your TX PTT terminal when in RX mode. In old valve TRX, negative voltage appears in RX mode on the KEY terminal. The scheme has to be modified consequently. -Suppression of clicks which appeared in version 1.6. Version 1.6 features : ====================== - minimum speed at 10 words/mn - correction of a system error that appears in a very particuliar case.

BE AWARE that under Win95, when using the Execute command or creating a short, the command line is displayed between doub le quotes. Then, the parameter must be typed AFTER the last double quote : "C:\CW_Player.EXE" /f
