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 am running and calling CQ. A station calls me. I enter the
call in the<br>
call window. Then I am supposed to use the space bar to navigate
the<br>
exchange. So I space bar to the number field. Enter the
number. Space bar<br>
to Precedent. Enter it. Space bar to Check. Enter
it. Space bar to<br>
Section. WRONG!!! If you do you wind up in the Call window
with an Unknown<br>
Mult error. 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. Maybe ok when you are fresh in the contest but
later on<br>
it just doesn't cut it. So what are you supposed to do? Use
combinations<br>
of the space bar and tab? Not good! 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>
