Paul,
I am running V 15.33.

In the arrl dx cw test I noticed that when in ESM mode S+P, if I entered 
a callsign in the call field and pressed enter, my callsign was sent and 
the cursor moved to the state/province field. if the other station heard 
me first time I could then enter the state/province press enter and the 
qso was logged.  This is the normal behaviour I expect.

However if the other station did not come back to me first time and I 
pressed enter a second time to send my call again the report was sent 
instead.  I found I had to manually tab back to the call field and use 
F5 (Mycall) to send my call a second time, pressing enter in the 
callsign field did not work, it sent Hisreport again.

I seem to recollect that in previous versions when using ESM S+P I could 
send my call a second time when the cusor was in the report field, 
presumably because SD recognised that the report field was still blank.

Or is my memory faulty?
