I found WL to be wholly inadequate for 7QP.

Upon entering a call into the log window it would prefill the exchange with the *first *exchange that had been entered for that station. What you need is the *last *exchange entered (for that band/mode) so that you can see (in the case of a mobile) if he has moved on to another county.

When entering two counties for a station it would often report, incorrectly, that the second one was invalid and would delete it. Hence necessitating entering two QSOs to get both counties logged.

There was no indication in the log when a dupe was logged.

What is "Check Call"?

While operating a FT-1000MP to MicroHam Keyer II in the 7QP, the WL module
began faulting.  Thus closing WL to perform a short  reset was needed to
clear the lockup:
"Check Call" did not show previous contacts. It did not highlight that a
potential call was a dupe.
Did not accurately count the number of contacts on the "Band Summary"
window.
Did anyone else have module problems? While I am at it one constant fault is the inability to move from one
module to another [ala ARI to 7QP] without a freeze.  It happens with  most
modules requiring a form to be filled out when first used.  You  can close WL
down for a reset but the WL "Writelog Packet Terminal" will  not close.  Thus
a Ctrl-Alt-delete sequence to clear it.
