My experience tells me to avoid Alt T. At least for me the auto CQ feature
lulls me into a state where I fail to switch bands or tactics for far too
long. However, repeatedly pressing the F1 key with no answer is a salient
queue that it is time to shift gears.

| Never had that problem. I only need to hit it once to bring up the window

| callsign. The way it is, I click on a call, and about the time (but
before)
| I hit the key to send the exchange, the auto CQ starts and I have to abort
| it with ESC and then send the exchange. Any better way to handle this? I
| usually just try to hit alt-T to stop the auto CQ when I hear someone
| calling, and THEN hit the exchange. This is obviously only an issue when
| this are slowish and you're auto-cqing.
