Steve,

I'm not sure what the difference is between using a 3 or a 5? The WL manual seems to indicate anything other than zero invokes the command.

BTW, I have been experiencing some weird behavior with the Insert key too. The default for WL is to grab that last highlighted call and enter it into the CALL field. I've never liked that as I think the guy that got in first should be worked first. So usually I left click on the first highlighted call and then right click on the second or third calls to put them into the stack while I'm working the first guy. Lately that hasn't been working right and the Insert key bumps the call I clicked on and puts in the last highlighted call.

After checking my ini file for your problem it suddenly dawned on me that having the InsertOverridesCall=1 was probably the culprit so I set it back to 0. Sure enough, the problem went away and my method of clicking and working was back in business. Glad you had a problem Steve or I might not have ever found out the source of my difficulty. No idea how or why that got changed from a 0 to a 1.

Thanks Gary and all

I go it fixed. Somehow the number got changed from 3 to 5. I sat it back
to 5 and now it's working as it should.

Steve,

Check your [Configuration] section for the following command from the Help manual. Don't know of anything that would cause this unless you've somehow created a keyboard shortcut that has assigned the Insert key to some other action.

InsertOverridesCall non-zero and pressing the INSERT key on the keyboard will use the RTTY window to override any CALL entry. This entry affects only RTTY operation.

InsertOverridesCall=0

So to use the Insert key for grabbing a RTTY call it should be:

InsertOverridesCall=1

I'm not sure why but my insert key is no longer grabbing the highlighted
Callsign and calling the station. Could someone tell me what I might be
missing in my INI file
