exchange guessing grabs data fromprior QSO with different call</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>After your ARRL Sweepstakes log starts filling with callsigns,
strange things seem to happen. For example, if you work W6RK, then later
try to log W6RKC (note: calls identical except for the last letter),
data from the first QSO with W6RK doesn't get cleared from the other columns
when you type the last letter of the new call (the "K"). This is
assuming you have automatic exchange guessing enabled. You end up with
W6RK's Precedence, Check, and Section "pre-filled" and you have to type over
these or use Ctrl-W on each field. <BR><BR>See the <A
href="http://flyspray.win-test.com/?do=details&id=154" target=_blank>Bug
Report #154</A> for details. Any chance of a fix before the contest
starts at 2100Z this Saturday?<BR><BR>If not, I suppose an easy workaround
would be to disable exchange guessing, as it's not very useful in the
Sweepstakes, where you can work a station only once regardless of band.
But, I don't see any way to disable it completely. It seems one of the
following three choices <I>has</I> to be checked?<BR><BR>Tools, Data Entry,
Exchange Guessing, <BR>
<UL>
<LI>Pressing the spacebar
<LI>Automatically
<LI>After timeout<BR></LI></UL>It seems like having <I>none</I> of these
checked should also be an option, to completely disable it. <BR><BR>In the
mean time, selecting either the first or the last Exchange Guessing option
could minimize the inconvenience.<BR><BR>73,<BR>Bob, N6TV<BR>
