Bud, that solution with C in Exchange field seems to work fine with me also.

Now, that I have mults visible in bandmap, I would like to have in my 
exchange field only 2 fields (CALL and  RCVD).
I don't like 'C' to occupie me when i press 'SPACE'. I wish to move with 
SPACE only between two fields.

Can I get rid of that C? To pass it with SPACE and access it only by TAB?

I could done it somehow if I check C as it is RST.

Maybe next year I'll work RUDX again, hi
