Hi All,
Same experience here. I quickly learned to hit the Escape Key when finished
to put me back in the Run mode.

type in a partial call in the call window and go ahead and work the guy

station came back to me with my exchange, I accidently hit the TAB key to
get down to the exchange field which to my suprise, put me in S&P mode for
the next QSO. It wasn't a suprise until the next guy called and my DVP
answered with my callsign.

wouldn't do that. In other words, unless the callsign field is blank, don't
switch modes.

my mind didn't want to do that all the time with partial calls for some
reason! Must be getting old.
