[na-user] CQP (?) Dupe Checking Glitch

[K0OU]

Hi all-
Had the very same problem here. I assumed it had to do with the "QTH must
match for dup" switch which I used for the first time.
I did notice that even if the dup alert did not flash, the previous contact
was still shown in the "Check Call" box in a different color. That kept me
alerted and saved a number of dups.

| Running the CQP this weekend, I found that the dupe checking worked
sometimes
| and not at others.
|
| I did start the contest with "QTH must match for dupe" not enabled, and
| switched it on somewhere fairly early on.  I don't recall seeing the
problem
| before it was enabled, but there was no correlation I could detect between
| dupes where the original qsos made before or after it was enabled.
|
| The problem was that entering a call and hitting a space would not alert
that
| is was a dupe, although the check station window did show the previous
qso.
| If the non-alerted dupe was entered, it would be recorded as a dupe.
Perhaps
| half of the (dupe) qsos would be properly alerted, and half not.
