And while I think that this feature will probably be implemented, I have
a more philosophical answer. I have gone full circle on this database
stuff for QTH. Or maybe I am just dizzy.
I have found, that I have a lower error rate when NOT using information
from a database in the exchange window. Having the information come up
as USER INFO SHOWN is still too tempting, but at least making me type it
in encourages me to listen to what is being sent. I find I have my lowest
error rate when there is no information displayed. Now that most domestic
contests are being checked with rather efficient software - most errors
will be detected.
Good news Icom owners - I should have some news in a week as I will
be spending an evening at an Icom owner's QTH who has the "Icom problem"
and hopefully I can quickly get to the bottom of it.
