It is very common for two stations to be running within the tuning
tolerance you have set in N1MM Logger. You S&P the first one. Good. Now
you S&P the 2nd one. With your proposed implementation, working the 2nd
one will automatically change you to Run mode. Bad.
Using the standard function key layout, you would very naturally press
F1 to start a CQ on your Run frequency. With current N1MM Logger
implementation, that would automatically change you to Run mode. Good.

Why would the program not figure out that it was in run mode if two
contacts were made on the same frequency back to back?
Forgetting to set run mode is a pretty common issue.

I updated N1MM+ today, and indeed it includes the revision to spotting.
The notes explain it thusly:
"For each Entry Window, do not auto spot QSOs if successive QSOs are
on the
same frequency. This is for those who forget to set run mode when
running.

The key word here is "RUNNING." Nothing worse than seeing someone with

(Pro tip: You should be in Run mode then.) Dozens of mults that

really there piled up in the band map on top of each other, so then I
have
to block the spotter to keep the bandmap and the mult window clear.

THANK YOU Steve !!!!
There were a whole bunch of stations who polluted the band map last
weekend by spotting while running. Even after being told repeatedly
what
was happening, they did nothing about it, and may not even have known
how
to change their own configuration. I can see how new or
inexperienced ops
at a Multi could have unknowingly done this.
Anyway it was a huge waste of time for any Assisted op trying to keep an
accurate band map.
