<div>Do you think that my suggestion of having a message prompt the operator to

A pop-up message saying "There are two computers set as R1" could be quite annoying in certain larger configurations that need to run things that way (e.g. a multi-multi with one station per band and two operators moving from chair to chair to operate as M/2).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Though not addressing this concern directly, I recently opened <a href="http://flyspray.win-test.com/index.php?do=details&id=328">task #328</a> to cover the problem of 10-minute count-down timers not appearing in the status window (Alt-J) for the NAQP. When this is fixed you will have a new clue.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Note that the station type is also shown on every QSO, as "R1" or "R2", and if set incorrectly, station type can't be changed by moving the cursor to the QSO and pressing Alt-Y or Ctrl-F3. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Separate "last band change" timers also appear in the rate window (Alt-R). Usually one notices quickly that only one timer is being updated.</div><div><br></div><div>So with all these visual clues that two stations are marked as "R1," is a new prompt really required?</div>
