Ok, what I want to avoid is the thousands of keystrokes entered to see
if I worked a station in the duration of a contest.
Using the bandmap on the active radio (S&P), when I come across a
station the info will automagically prefill into my call window (if a
dupe) and I can move on without having to Alt_D and type in the call-
IMHO this is quite significant.
What I came up with was to set CQ EXCHANGE to CTRL-C SWAPRADIOS CTRL-D
CQ CQ BLAH,BLAH (send the cq on the INACTIVE (RUN) radio)
then I set CQ MESSAGE F1 = CTRL-A 5nn^yaddah,yaddah (send exch on
inactive radio)
I also found it real handy to have F12 set to SWAPRADIOS, tho
CTRL-R does the same thing.
I have not tried this in heat of battle, but it seems to do the job.
