Same for me, although not a new observation.  What if take a trip and
operate Dxx/WA9ALS - Seems everyone would see WA9ALS highlighted, but not
the Dxx prefix, leading to logging errors and inconvenience.

Same for me, although again not a new observation.  Very embarrassing to see
a different call going out in BLUE, hit esc, reclick on the one you wanted
etc.

Help with these things would be greatly appreciated!  Tnx for bringing them
up, Barry!
