Jim,

I complained about this Enter key logic problem several months ago but have 
since changed my mind.

To be fair to the Enter key problem - Think about the wpx, you WANT the 
cursor to move to the serial field so you are ready to capture a serial 
number quickly. So what we have are competing requirements and no win-win 
situation. If you are running then the Enter key logic seems neat. But when 
you are s&p you can't use it and in fact it keeps you from logging the qso 
without using the shift key. So if one radio is running and one is s&p what 
do you do????? Or if some moments you cq and others you tune or go get a 
spot, what do you do????

I have decided I don't care about the fancy enter key logic. I have left 
the enter key to simply log the qso. The plus key still works nicely for 
the qrz and log. Using MacroExpress I have another key set up to send my 
s&p exchange and log. So I get the best of all worlds and have control of 
what I am doing on any radio.
