Under Tucnak you can use very popular VHF chat made by Alain, ON4KST. Most of uses probably uses web interface on http://www.on4kst.com/ . You can use it too in web browser but better way is to use telnet interface in one of Tucnak's shell.

Your choice           :

Enter number of chat. For you info about commands, use command

/HELP

If you want to highlight your message for other call, type

/CQ I4XCC Hi Claudio try 3cm?

It is good feature because web users can oversigt your message in strong chat traffic.

Keys

You can use same keys like in other windows - Alt+P, Alt+N for history scrolling, Alt+H for history display, [ and ] for scrolling.

New feature in 2.14 is Alt+K which is similar to Alt+P. But shows only commands beginning with /CQ and adds text like:

/cq I4XCC (I4XCC) _

Simply enter new text for I4XCC

Mouse

By click on spot Tucnak recognizes callsign and show all lines containing this call in yellow. Worked calls are displayed in dark yellow. Second click displays line in normal grey colour. This doesn't work if spot is highlighted by call in text, not sender's call.
