Another way around the problem of more than one call being
highlighted, and changing what you type when hitting INS is this:
Say a call is highlighted. Hit the HOME key. This copies it into the
log window. Then when it's time to xmit, hit F3, or whichever F-key
send the call and exchange.
As someone already mentioned, if there is more than one call
highlighted, and one happens to be a new mult (in yellow), that call
is the one captured
