I've been playing with TR's Sprint mode in the Thursday night NCCC NS sprint practice. If you haven't participated, it uses basically the Internet Sprint rules (#, previous name, QTH). I'm thinking I've got something set wrong.

If I am in CQ mode: enter a call, press <enter>. Exchange gets sent, cursor moves to exchange window. But, the menu keys switch over to S&P mode as soon as I do this. So, if he asks for a repeat, I can't use the CQ keys, I have to use a F key from the S&P mode. At the moment I've programmed some Alt keys that give me the same results for both modes. Although it's kinda complex since you have to send either the previous name or the previous-previous name, depending on whether the contact has been logged or not. This also happens in S&P mode, although I guess it is intended since once you log the contact you really are "done", and TR has switched to CQ mode, not knowing the guy was going to ask for a repeat.

I do find just using the F keys directly to do the exchanges does not switch modes until I hit the final enter. Is that the best way to run this type of Sprint?

tnx for any enlightenment.
