That's what I use. It's not nearly as smooth as trlog's automatic 
display of stations as you tune through them and automatic clearing of 
the call field. This problem is not unique to SO2R, just intensified. It 
is one of the biggest faults with WL for SO1R as well. At least by using 
F11 to clear the call field you can't accidentally hit Alt, F, <n> - a 
pretty astonishing "accident," if you ask me. I had never noticed the 
Alt key arming menu letters until your friend's complaint caused me to 
test it.

I'm using WL for its strong integration flexibility, not for its runtime 
ergonomics which are pretty weak. I mean, really - program F11 to set 
the message sent by F1, then use F11 to clear the call field?! George 
Orwell couldn't have done any better!
