This doesn't make sense to me. You would not be CQing on radio 1 using F1
if you had previously called a CQ on radio 2 - using F7/F8. Please describe
the operating scenario that made you do this.

This is because you have TWO RADIO MODE on I believe.

There might be something wrong with 6.85 - which I would like to understand.

Well, I think turning off TWO RADIO MODE is a good first step. This should
not be turned on for the sprint.
Perhaps a hint is that you really can only be CQing on one band at a time.
You should do that with F7/F8 and S&P on your active band. You either find
someone to call on the active band (pressing SPACE BAR to call him), or
someone answers your F7/F8 cq on the inactive band. You should not be a
position to enter a callsign while a CQ is happening.
The program is used in a totally different way in the sprint - almost upside
down and backwards from how it gets used in the SS.
