Jerry,
I decided to check out the WPX behavior and was able to re-create what you
had (don't know about the band change part).
First of all, WPX at least allows you to click on a serial number with the
cursor sitting in the RST field (on the first 9 in 599) and have it copy
into the NUMB field without having to hit the space bar. So far, so good.
But if there happens to be a letter at the end of the serial number in the
Rttyrite window (like 100T) which can happen on a weak signal, DON'T click
it. You end up with exactly what you had, the serial number wiping out the
call and ending up in the CALL field! Better hand enter it.
Is this old or new to 10.45? I don't know, if someone has an older version,
it would be interesting if they would run a test.
Don
