# What is not finished, and what has not been tested

Two separate lists. A feature can be finished and untested, or half-built and
exercised every day. Written 2026-08-27.

## Never run against the real thing

Everything below is written from a published protocol or from N1MM's source and
tested against a fake that speaks the same protocol. A fake agrees with whatever
the person who wrote it believed, so these are the places where a wrong belief
is still sitting there undiscovered.

| What | Tested against | What has never happened |
|---|---|---|
| `RigctldRadio` | a stand-in for `rigctld` over a real socket | no real `rigctld`, no real radio. The extended answer format, the `+` prefix and the split commands are from the documented protocol. If the format is wrong, nothing works rather than something being subtly off — check this first. |
| `OtrspBox` | a `MemoryStream`, checking the bytes | no real SO2R box. Command forms are from N1MM's `N1MMPort.cs`. |
| `ClusterClient` | a node fake over a real socket, sending the telnet negotiation, the login prompt and spot lines | no live cluster node. Which nodes send bare CR, and which send option negotiation, is guessed from N1MM's code. |
| `StationNetwork` | the message format, round-tripped | no second station, and no N1MM on the same network. |
| `CwDaemonSender` | the UDP messages | no `cwdaemon`, no radio keyed. |
| `WinkeyerSender` | nothing | no test at all, and no WinKeyer. The host-mode open sequence is from the WinKeyer datasheet. |

The Cabrillo output has not been put in front of a contest sponsor's robot.

## Half-built

**Alternating CQ (SO2R).** Needs to know when the keyer has finished sending.
`MessageSender` is fire-and-forget: it has `SendAsync`, `AbortAsync` and
`SetSpeedAsync` and no completion signal. Both `cwdaemon` and a WinKeyer can
report completion, so the interface has to grow first. Timing it from the length
of the text would be a guess that goes wrong exactly when the contest is busy.

**Voice keying.** `MessageSender` was written to cover a voice keyer playing a
recording, and nothing implements it. No DVK support either, so the second radio
of an SO2R station cannot call CQ by voice.

**Call history: the section-validating directives.** `!!Validate50State!!`,
`!!ValidateArrlSection!!`, `!!MapOnSection!!` and `!!GTA2GH_NT2TER!!` are read
and passed over. Acting on them means holding N1MM's section lists and its
rules about which sections are retired, and getting that wrong throws away good
data. The file is read without them.

**QTC handling for WAE.** Not started. WAE logs will not be complete without it.

**Digital modes.** A contact can be logged as RTTY or another digital mode, and
the contest rules score it, but there is no digital window: no decoding, no
transmitting, no interface to fldigi, MMTTY or similar.

**Contest coverage.** Eight contests are built in, plus whatever `.udc` files
are in the user-defined folder. N1MM ships well over a hundred. Opening a log
from a contest not in the registry fails with the contest name, which is the
right answer but it is still a wall.

## Known rough edges

**The log window's column widths** are the grid's own automatic sizing with a
character-count floor. A column can change width as rows scroll into view.

**Contacts arriving over the station network** are applied from the socket
thread, and `AppSession.TakeFromNetwork` reopens the whole contest to do it.
That is correct but heavy, and it discards what is typed in an entry window on
another radio.

**The band plan covers 160M to 2M only.** 60M and everything above 2M get no
CW, digital or phone shading on the bandmap, because N1MM's own numbers for
those bands contradict themselves — its CW top for 1.25M is below its phone
start, and its 70CM CW top is above the band. Config ▸ Sub bands cannot add a
band that has no default.

**Available mults and Qs is only as good as the bandmap.** It lists what is
spotted, so a multiplier nobody has spotted is not there. N1MM's window also
shows the mults a contest has and nobody has worked, which needs a list of every
multiplier the contest counts. Only the section and state lists are held here,
so the zone and country lists would have to come from the country file first.

**Two entry windows and one keyer.** The SO2R box is told which radio to key
before each message, but nothing stops both radios sending at once if the
operator asks them to.
