Some people prefer not to enable automatic band map entry, because they
prefer typing only *partial* callsigns when in S&P mode.  Normally that's
all you have to type to determine dupe status via the Check Partial window,
not full callsigns.

If that is indeed the case, perhaps there is also a " QSY wipes" function ?


Yes, just look at the Radio 1/2 Band Map Properties window, or the
documentation link provided in my original reply, and you will see that it
is right there as a separate option.

I'd certainly be interested to hear contrary views of course, but if as

It is generally not a good idea to change the long-established default
behavior of Win-Test without strong justification for it, especially when
that involves automatically erasing something that you just typed!
