Umh, the "damage is done", so to speak, when you type in 5 or 6 letters of 
the callsign (and if the Auto Send Character Count is ON...out spits the 
CW).  Then, "surprise, surprise" when that #&^! "/QRP" shows up ;-(   If 
using  regular logger, there's already been wasted time in typing the call 
so even with no QSO, there has already been, IMHO, "too much trouble".
