Bob, TNX for your reply email.

I am seeing 2 problems...
1) Are you using the MAP window feature?
I am connected to a spotting network. Spots appear in the MAP as expected.
When I click on a station CALL (on the map), and ENTER it into the log, then
CALL should change color from (the not worked color - YELLOW?) to DARK BLUE
(worked). I am not seeing this happen.

ALSO... Dave, NC6P, is describing another problem where the RCVD field only
is displaying 4 characters. I am also seeing this problem.  Here is what I
can do to repeat the error... it appears to be a DUPE QSO related problem.

   Say I work K7K on 40m/cw in AZMCP. This appears correctly in my log
window.
   Later I find K7K again on 40m/cw and put his call in the CALL window
(this is a DUPE QSO
   situation).  WL will populate the RCVD field with a truncated 4-character
QTH (AZMC) and
   call it a NEW STATION.  I am unable to add the missing 'P' character at
in the RCVD field
   (I can type a 'P', but when I leave the RCVD  field, it reverts back to a
4-character QTH and
    I get the UNKNOWN MULT error message).

    On the other hand.... suppose K7K is now in a different county. (i.e. it
is no longer the DUPE
    QSO situation).  I still have this erroneous 4-character QTH in the RCVD
field. I can back
    it out and add the new county QTH and it will be accepted as a new and
valid QSO.

I think the program might flow better if it did NOT populate the county QTH
when I come across the
DUPE CALL situation. The program should only detect a DUPE QSO when it has
the QTH field(s).

So, are you able to repeat this scenario and get the 4-character QTH result?

Dave & Jerry,

I operated 7QP with ver 10.63H and it handled dupes correctly, announcing in
red when a dupe was entered in the callsign box .. and I did log one dupe
and in that case it identified it with the red D in the log, just as it's
suppose to.  So 10.63H handled dupes in 7QP OK for me.
