QSL, Joe - Agree with all you say - have been using "work-arounds" quite frequently to help the "uninitiated" realize that I am calling them and not just throwing QRM their way! ;-) Thanks for considering my input. Am waiting for that next release as Version 1.4 is (IMHO) a considerable step up. 73 & GL, Paul DU2/WA8UGN Sent from my Xperia™ tablet ---- Joe Taylor wrote ---- >Hi Paul, > >Thanks for calling my attention to the fact that the second message >under "Calling CQ" on Tab 2 is not generated correctly.
