Holger,
this is the basic principle of TR: Wherever you are, ENTER takes you one
step further in contesting, in this case to sending the exchange. I would
not like to give that up. Soon you WILL have in mind: If he does not come
back, your left hand goes to the F1 button until he does come back or
until you move your hand to the VFO knob because you gave up.

Sounds pretty complicated. And probably we're run out of definable keys.
You could also set SPACE BAR DUPE CHECK ENABLE = FALSE and call him as
often as you want with the space bar, but there is no dupe check then.

What might be thought of if something should be changed is:
1)
Having F1 do a dupe check first, so that it behaves like the first ENTER
(not like SPACE BAR as it is now ? we still have SPACE BAR for that).
Then Holger could use F1 for the first and all following calls.
Or ? I'd like to have everything automated -
2)
Enter working as it is now when cursor is in call window, i. e. de \ ,
and then moving cursor to exchange field. Enter working as QSO NORMAL
when cursor is in exchange field and a valid exchange is found. But ENTER
working like F1 when exchange field does not have a valid exchange or
when cursor has been moved back to the call sign window (using up arrow)
hw?
