Delay first callsign sent when running Single Calls mode (#424)

When using bluetooth headsets, users have reported a problem where they will miss the first character sent after starting a contest in Single Calls mode. They must immediately send F7 ('?') to cause the first call to be repeated. To fix this issue, an additional delay can be added before the first callsign is sent in Single Calls mode.

  • The following keyword is provided to specify an additional delay before the first callsign is sent:
  [Settings]
  SingleCallStartDelay=NNN
  • NNN can be any value between 0 and 2500 milliseconds.
  • The default value is 0.

What's Changed

  • Improve Station ID after 3 QSOs, add StationIdRate keyword by @w7sst in #422
  • Improve response after operator sends corrected callsign by @w7sst in #423
  • ARRL DX - Update call history file by @w7sst in #426
  • 416 JARL ACAG - Number exchange field is too narrow by @w7sst in #427
