One last question before the contest If you are using a mouse with the software and you want to enter a contact, where do you do that? I don’t see an enter button. I realize I can hit enter key on the keyboard.
Thank you a lot. I am excited about using the software for the first time over the weekend

Hi Russ,
Thanks for your follow up. Yes, the modes for SS are contest specific and will not ever change mid contest.
Enjoy! 73, Scott

Thanks for the reply. I had figured that part out. What I find "odd" is that if I change the set up for CW, it will change the set up to CW for every log. I am referring to the blue box in the lower left next to tracking time and band. So is this normal behavior? It doesn't change the mode of contacts already in the log, which is great. But it appears that the software assumes that the next contact for any of the logs will be in the mode most recently set up in the most recent log. It's like the mode that you set the log up in doesn't stay fixed with the originally set up mode. It changes based on the most recent set up. It appears that mode set up is not independent for each of the logs one has set up, but it applied universally to all of the logs based on most recent setting. Does that make sense? Just want to make sure I am not missing a setting somewhere and this is normal behavior for the software. Thank you Russ K3Pi

Hi Russ,
Since one weekend is CW and the other is SSB, you will only be using one
mode during the particular weekend. The logs won’t be mixed
together.

Hi Russ,
Thanks for your e-mail. When operating the CW Contest, be sure to have the log you set up for CW open and select CW from the Setup form. Likewise, when operating the SSB Contest, be sure to have the log you set up for SSB open and select
SSB from the Setup form. Enjoy! 73, Scott

Newbie here I was fooling around with the software in preparation for November ss. I set up two practice logs trying to get familiar with how it works. One for cw and one for phone/ssb. In the setup, when you have to select the Mode - it then applies it to both of the practice logs. Seemingly, it applies the most recent mode selected to all of the logs. How can I get one to show for cw and the other for phone/ssb? Thanks Russ K3Pi
