+// Status=review
+The following controls appear just under the decoded text windows on
+the main screen:
+
+//.Main UI 
+image::main-ui-controls.png[align="center",width=650,alt="Main UI Controls"]
+
+* When *CQ only* is checked, only messages from stations calling CQ will
+be displayed in the left text panel.
+
+* *Log QSO* raises a dialog window pre-filled with known information
+about a QSO you have nearly completed.  You can edit or add to this
+information before clicking *OK* to log the QSO.  If you check *Prompt
+me to log QSO* on the *Settings -> Reporting* tab, the program will
+raise the confirmation screen automatically when you send a message
+containing +73+.  *Start Date* and *Start Time* are set when you click
+to send the *Tx 2* or *Tx 3* message, and backed up by one or two
+sequence lengths, respectively.  (Note that the actual start time may
+have been earlier if repeats of early transmissions were required.)
+End date and time are set when the *Log QSO* screen is invoked.
+

+
+* *Stop* will terminate normal data acquisition in case you want to
+freeze the waterfall or open and explore a previously recorded audio
+file.
+
+* *Monitor* toggles normal receive operation on or off.  This button
+is highlighted in green when the _WSJT-X_ is receiving.  If you are
+using CAT control, toggling *Monitor* OFF relinquishes control of the
+rig; if *Monitor returns to last used frequency* is selected on the
+*Settings | General* tab, toggling *Monitor* back ON will return to
+the original frequency.
+
+* *Erase* clears the right-hand decoded text window. 
+Double-clicking *Erase* clears both text windows.
+
+TIP: Right-clicking on either text window brings up a context menu
+with several options (including *Erase*) which operate on that window
+alone.
+
+* *Clear Avg* is present only in modes that support message averaging.
+It provides a way to erase the accumulating information, thus
+preparing to start a new average.
+
+* *Decode* tells the program to repeat the decoding procedure at the
+Rx frequency (green marker on waterfall scale), using the most recently
+completed sequence of received data.  
+
+* *Enable Tx* toggles automatic T/R sequencing mode on or off and
+highlights the button in red when ON.  A transmission will start at
+the beginning of the selected (odd or even) sequence, or immediately
+if appropriate.  Toggling the button to OFF during a transmission
+allows the current transmission to finish.
+
+* *Halt Tx* terminates a transmission immediately and disables
+automatic T/R sequencing.
+
+* *Tune* toggles the program into Tx mode and generates an unmodulated
+carrier at the specified Tx frequency (red marker on waterfall scale).
+This process is useful for adjusting an antenna tuner or tuning an
+amplifier.  The button is highlighted in red while *Tune* is active.
+Toggle the button a second time or click *Halt Tx* to terminate the
+*Tune* process.  Note that activating *Tune* interrupts a receive
+sequence and will prevent decoding during that sequence.
+
+* Uncheck the box *Menus* to make the top-of-window menus disappear,
+leaving more vertical space for decoded messages.
