You didn't, by any chance, set the "Callsign Alert" field in the
preferences (Packet 1) for those calls while they were operational, did
you? That would cause the yellow background, if so.

Yes, that was it! Never used that feature before and first tried it for the
3Y0. Having that show up in yellow the first time around was correct to me
as it was a new one overall. At that point, I deleted the 3Y0 and put VQ9LA
in, but had forgotten that. Of course, it's properly documented in the Help
for that field. I could have hit F1 for help in the first place, but didn't
do that. Anyway, all is well now and thanks much for the quick response.
