I noticed the same when using auto-CQ. We had to hit ESC first, then the
callsign. I recall the auto-CQ used to stop when you hit a letter. I was
running with auto CQ resume after the contact. so that may have been the
problem.
We also noticed that when a contact was a DUPE, the auto-CQ would not resume
on its own.
