Exactly.  If the callsign can no longer be worked for QSO credit on the band 
on which it is spotted then it should be marked as a dupe at the time the 
QSO is made.  If the station is running SO2R and doing dueling CQs then I'd 
expect to see spots on 2 bands,  but they should both turn to dupes if I 
work the station (in SS).

Yes, this is low priority.  In SS I don't want to sit waiting for the 
station to finish a QSO only to hit Enter and have TR tell me he's a dupe.  
Usually I'd remember to hit Space right away, but not always.
