Yes, that's true for all Phone contests since you can't separately program
INS and PLUS messages in the Advanced SO2R Scenarios on Phone (they are
grayed out intentionally).

It's fixed like this and does not need to be changed, does it?  On CW or
RTTY, you would normally use $F2 in the INSERT message, and $F3 in the PLUS
message.  On Phone this happens automatically and conveniently.  No one has
ever been really bothered by this, or have they?

It can be done in the Advanced SO2R Scenarios by calling a Win-Test script
that generates a Ctrl-Tab.  So for example, you can put a #RUNMODE macro
call in the Secondary Radio F1 scenario to switch you to RUN mode
automatically when you call CQ.  And you could add #SPMODE macro call in
the Primary Radio F4 scenario to switch you to S&P mode when you send your
callsign to call someone.  But in practice, how is S&P mode any different
than Run mode when you are operating on phone?  The exchange key (INSERT)
doesn't send the callsign of the caller, so you can press INSERT with no
run or S&P switching on phone.  But if you need it, for example to make ESM
mode work, or to fill the band map faster when in S&P mode, here are two
LUA script examples you can use to swap SPMODE and RUNMODE from Advanced
SO2R Scenarios.

RunMode.wts:

-- Switch to run mode if necessary
if wtQso:IsOperatingModeRun() == false then
   -- Send Ctrl-Tab to toggle primary window to RUN mode
   wtApp:SendKeyCode(265, WT_KEY_CTRL)
end

SPMode.wts:

-- Switch to S&P mode if necessary
if wtQso:IsOperatingModeRun() then
   -- Send Ctrl-Tab to toggle primary window to S&P mode
   wtApp:SendKeyCode(265, WT_KEY_CTRL)
end

Q3. microHAM router allows switching memory banks by operator and

Just put that callsign in the OPERATORS line of the Interface Configuration
screen, though it still may not work until you enter OPON (once).  A
shortcut is to assign a unique name like "Ben" to each callsign in the OPON
dialog, then all you have to do is type BEN [Enter] which is easier than
using the OPON dialog.
