[TRLog] Newbie Questions

[Mike Gilmer - N2MG]

1) How do you guys *manage* the difference between S&P 
mode and CQ mode?  IOW, there seems to be no "mode" 
annunciator on the TR screen.  And, it seems that an 
overzealous use of <ESCAPE> can return one to CQ mode 
as well.  Is there some (perhaps subtle) difference I 
could look for?

2) I typed a call in the callsign field, then realized 
I was in CQ mode and I tried to switch out of it by 
hitting the <TAB> but all TR did was move the cursor 
to the exchange field.  Not sure if I had done 
anything else, but assuming that this is as expected, 
is there anyway to switch modes at that point?

3) Has anyone found it desirable to use the <SHIFT> tuning feature regularly?  I found that my admitted 
slowness several times in trying a <SHIFT><TAB> to 
change CQ/S&P mode (I apparently held the SHIFT down 
alone a bit too long) caused the radio to start to 
tune. Yikes!  I disabled the <SHIFT> tuning feature after the second mishap.

4) Most importantly, does TR know how to utilize extra 
(expanded or extended) memory for anything but DVP?  I 
have 8Meg in my 486, but the memory count hovers near 
100K.

Tnx,
Mike N2MG
