The main reason I like to turn off scan for DE is in a
pileup situation such as when you call CQ and copy something
like the following response:
DE FRYT89ROS6K7WM45GM
In this case, the guy with the fastest trigger finger sends
DE and then everybody chimes in with their callsigns,
getting into a big mishmash.
If you have scan for DE turned on, the entire mishmash will
get highlighted.
If you have scan for DE turned off, K7WM will be clearly
highlighted.
