I was lucky and had this pointed out before the contest. You CAN fix this 
by changing the property of the CK field in the exchange. Contest/Exchange 
Format Setup  Change CK field to TAB ONLY, DONE.

I was lucky and had this pointed out before the contest. You CAN fix this
by changing the property of the CK field in the exchange.

I am running and calling CQ.&nbsp; A station calls me.&nbsp; I enter the
call in the<br>
call window.&nbsp; Then I am supposed to use the space bar to navigate
the<br>
exchange.&nbsp; So I space bar to the number field.&nbsp; Enter the
number.&nbsp; Space bar<br>
to Precedent.&nbsp; Enter it.&nbsp; Space bar to Check.&nbsp; Enter
it.&nbsp; Space bar to<br>
Section.&nbsp; WRONG!!!&nbsp; If you do you wind up in the Call window
with an Unknown<br>
Mult error.&nbsp; So then you want to get back on track and get to
section again.<br>
So FOUR!!! space bars later you are in Section.<br><br>
This is not good.&nbsp; Maybe ok when you are fresh in the contest but
later on<br>
it just doesn't cut it.&nbsp; So what are you supposed to do?&nbsp; Use
combinations<br>
of the space bar and tab?&nbsp; Not good!&nbsp; The space bar should
cycle you through<br>
the exchange and cycle completely and the same everytime.<br><br>
Make sense?<br><br>
I hope so.<br><br>
