I used to think I had to hit ALT-T to stop the auto-CQ.  However, if you hit
the ESC key, the auto-cq function DOES "stop".  However, the words AUTO CQ
still appear down in the right-hand corner, and it will resume the next time
you hit the indicated function key, e.g. F11.  This is a good thing once
it's understood.

I would like for it to behave the same way when a callsign is clicked to put
it in the ENTRY window.  The way it is now, the auto-cq continues even with
a callsign -clicked- into the entry window from the RTTY window.  This can
result in a CQ going out right when you don't want it to.  If you -type- a
callsign into the ENTRY window, the auto-CQ stops, so why not when you click
one in there?  Please consider Wayne?  Tnx
