If you go over 1kHz, the program will jump into S&P mode. Turn off the
AUTO S&P ENABLE parameter. The radio reports the frequency with the
RIT element added to it.

Maybe - I'll look into it.

Look at the .DOM file (S50P12.DOM). Anything starting with a G will be
considered Georgia. Perhaps making it GA and GE would be better, but that
wouldn't solve this case. If you just put GA, then you are covered (unless
the name is Gary) and then you can't type in Georgia for GA.
I guess I decided that you had to be careful about order all of the time,
but you could change the .DOM file to your liking.

Yeah - I noticed that too. I think that happened when I increased the
size of the name window.

Only if you want it to (by putting an @ in the front of the S&P exchange).
Sending the other person's call is required in the Sprints, but not the
NAQP.
