TR/Sprint Question - S/P & CQ modes

[Unger]

Lee -

I agree with your assessment 100%. In fact, the odd coincidence is that 
I was planning on composing a message very much like your this morning. 
Saturday was my first serious effort in the Sprint and the awkwardness 
of TR in making the switch to S&P was my biggest computer hangup. (My 
biggest overall problem was me: trying to keep up a rhythm and trying 
not to get discouraged by all the high serial numbers everyone else was 
giving me!).

It would seem to me that TR would work better for me if it changed back 
to the S&P mode right after you finished your second QSO on a frequency 
and then went off hunting someone else down the band. It seemed like 
that most others operate this way, too. A further rational for this mode 
of operation is that TR would then always "work" like it does in other 
contests; there would not be a special set of key strokes to use for the 
Sprint. But, hey, I'm new at this game; maybe all those big scores come 
about because they use TR the way it works now...
