callsign - # cancels Skip CQ slot selector setting

Hi:

Testing with two VarAC stations, I discovered that IF I use KP4AJ-2 the Slot mechanism gets activated despite settings have Skip CQ Slot selector enabled (at both stations). Tried with KP4AJ-3 and same result. Probably documented but VarAC should not allow the 'bypass' of the Skip CQ Slot selector, when using VARA FM.

The station 'answered CQ' required to close to 'clear' the slot mechanism.

The expected behavior is VarAC not to activate the slot mechanism.

Can you clarify on the thing you did and the expected ourcome ? not sure I follow. your slot system is disabled and yet you called CQ and your RIG moved to a slot ?

ok. I strongly advise you do not use this version which is still buggy and WIP. The fix will be included in the next version that I believe will be out in 2 weeks. a big feature is coming. Auto QSY. also unattended. Irad

Comment about the DropDown Edit frecs -- which is excellent. I think VarAC should do a reboot after user do a edit so changes are processed immediately. Otherwise it will depend on the user doing the VarAC reboot. Not a big deal.

Thanks for the effort, time and work being done with VarAC!!! It is highly appreciated!
