Here is the announcement Bernd sent out just before the start of the SCC 
contest.  If you are not sure which SCC module you are running I'm sure it 
is the original one by SM6SRW as you would have had to go to Bernd's web 
site and download his new version.  If you install this update I think you 
find your cursor problem jumping back to the CALL field is fixed.  As for 
your other problems it appears to be a different issue with the radio 
sending diddles.  I do not run SO2R so cannot be of much assistance there. 
I don't believe capital letters after %C should make a difference as I use 
capitals all the time in my RTTY messages without a problem.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

73,
Gary AL9A
