Paul I am not sure if this comes under your proposal or as a new feature. What I would also like to see is the box inside the "Country Window" track the band and mode from the incoming highlighted packet spot. Presently the box inside the window tracks the band and mode from the QSO displayed in the QSO Window. Perhaps there could be an option to select either way the box works (QSO window or incoming Packet). This was the one really useful feature of the old DOS Turbolog that I have really missed in DX4WIN.
