Many times during the SS Phone test I did something on the keyboard =
that seemed natural but caused problems and slowed me down. While CQing =
I would type in a partial call in the call window and go ahead and work =
the guy saying something like "the W7X something station" you are #.... =
When that station came back to me with my exchange, I accidently hit the =
TAB key to get down to the exchange field which to my suprise, put me in =
S&P mode for the next QSO. It wasn't a suprise until the next guy =
called and my DVP answered with my callsign.
It would be nice if any characters were in the callsign field, the TAB =
wouldn't do that. In other words, unless the callsign field is blank, =
don't switch modes.
I realize that if I hit RETURN instead of TAB everything worked okay, =
but my mind didn't want to do that all the time with partial calls for =
some reason! Must be getting old.
73, Jim
