CW Macros might not working on CW for contests fields on v0.40.

[vazquezrodjoel]

Had problems with the CW macros for contest exchange... was either not sending the exchange or sending the whole string like
"5NN EXCHSTR TU"

Also, no the help when I hover the Profile fields, it says the field shold be EXCSTR, but the initial settings wiki says MYEXCHSTR, so maybe Im just entering the wrong shortcut... Here are my settings:

I think it should be EXCHSTR, give that a shot. Michael, AA5SH

Wiki has been fixed. As Michael mentioned, it should be <EXCHSTR> and it send your Exchange String.

just tested without any issue. My testing macro is:

TEST <EXCHNR> <EXCHNRN> <EXCHSTR>
the result is

TEST 001 TT1 EXCHANGE

with following QSO params:

Ok, is not working. Please notice in my screenshot, my settings, the field set on the new contact, and the cw console with just 5nn TU when I pressed F2.

Just FYI in case is relevand, I upgraded to v 0.40 over with apt-get upgrade on ubuntu 24.04.

Ok, I find out that after making changes on the settings for the macros, I had to change the CW Profile on the CW Console. It does not apply them right away. Which is interesting, because when I set wrongly <MYEXCHSTR>, it did transmited that as a text, like 5NN MYEXCHSTR TU, so its weird...

So lesson learned, when making changes to the CW Profile, change the profile back and forward to apply the changes.
