There's an even easier way:

1) Start program
2) Left-click in the packet window
3) Hit Enter 3 times (First time brings up the "No connection" popup, second time closes that popup, 3rd time picks the top node in the list)
4) Type in call sign

(FYI it looks liek you only replied to me, so I'm cc'ing the whole list; I wasn't the one having the issue.)

Ray, guess I don't understand your connection process. I am running version 8.05 and here's how I do it.

1. Start program
2. Right click mouse in packet window and drop down of nodes appears.
3. Top node ( VE7CC ) is last one used so I press enter.
4. Type in call sign and am connected

    While I agree that I'd like to have an easier way to connect (and
    would
    like to have it connect automatically, if so desired), what I do
    now is
    I use Autohotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com/) to automate starting
    DX4WIN. It starts it, connects the packet cluster, and even runs some
    additional programs that I have running when I'm operating.
    Although you
    can do some very sophisticated things with AHK, starting a program
    and
    other basic things are quite simple.
