There is another undocumented use of %B, at least in RTTY. If you program an F key memory location with %B and then during a contest enter a call but can't break his pileup hitting the F key with %B puts the call onto the Band Map. Not sure if this works in CW or not.

Look in the help file under CW messages.

the letter "B"
The characters in the memory between a %B and a following %B are ignored (and not sent) unless the current Entry window has at least one character in its CALL field and that call sign is a duplicate on the Entry window's current band. Under these conditions, the characters between the %B's are sent, and any characters following the final %B are ignored. If there is a %C before the %B in the memory, then when the "/Special case/" for %C described above is in effect, the dupe check is also held until you tab or space out of the CALL field. In this special case, only one pair of %B characters will be correctly processed, and they must appear after the %C

Sorry, but I can not remember what %B does in CW. Plan to operate this weekend in the CQWW CW, looked at my old macro's and I had this one with a %B. Went to the help files, but I need the plain English version. Getting old--can't remember from one year to the next. Need more notes.
