If everyone agree, I'll add a dialog boxto ask the operator if he really 
accept to loose the QTCs. OK?

Noted.

We will try to get at least your two wishes included in one of the next 
releases, I guess it isn't too difficult to do.

I was also thinking to display the bandmap-callsign automaticcally in 
grey in the callsign field position. If the operator hits space or F4, 
then the callsign becomes black and is validated (aka really present in 
the callsign field). But this devel needs a bit more coding! ;)
