OK, after some experimenting, I see what this command REALLY does. It does NOT automatically populate the QSO window (which is what I thought KE9L was asking for....as in enter a callsign in the QSO window....and the name and address info fill in the QSO window "automatically"). Rather, what this command does is allows you to "automatically" populate the EXTERNAL data popup window (also called the "Lookup Window")....IF....you already have it open (as in, you entered the callsign in the QSO window....then ALSO hit F3 to bring up the external data popup window). Now when you scroll between callsigns you have already entered....it updates the info in the external popup window. Or if you entered a callsign in the QSO window.....AND....you have already opened that external popup window (again, by additionally entering F3)....then yes, the external window would be updated with the info of the callsign you entered. To have the info populate the QSO window, you would still have to take the extra step of hitting "update QSO". It isn't going to populate the QSO window "automatically"....just the external data popup window.
So, depending on what KE9L was asking, the answer may actually be "hit F3" to get the info to pop up....and then if you also want it in the QSO window...hit "Update QSO". I got excited for a second there when I thought that command was going to automatically update the info in QSO window!
