Hi Mike,

I'd like to suggest that the Tx 6 auto select after 73 not be done if Enable is not on.

It's a bit disconcerting to click Tx 5 after the minute has started and see the TX 6 get selected immediately. Makes sense if Enable is on given the new behavior…but not if it's turned off.

Just to clarify, under what circumstances would selecting message 6 not be correct?

Your last statement isn't quite logical, the selection of message 6 doesn't happen until you click enable, so enable is turned on when it happens. I can see that it might be a little disconcerting as it all happens in an instant. Would adding a short delay before message 6 is selected work better.

Matter of fact…I'm thinking perhaps a checkbox next to Tx 6 that is "Enable CQ select after 73 – must click Enable too" or such. So that action is only performed if you want it.

I don't think that will help as it is going to confuse more users that it helps IMHO.

I know it doesn't make a practical difference but aesthetically having an action performed that is illogical/unnecessary is what got me.

I don't see what is illogical or unnecessary here, the application is only doing what we discussed. Am I missing some use case where you want to send your 73 message more than once? I would have thought that is rare enough to justify having to click two widgets ("73" or "Tx6" then "Enable Tx") to make it happen.
