I am not a computer wizard, but is it possible to program an unused function key (say F12) to execute: enter alt s sequence ?? That way you could enter QSO (from a spot) and write to disk with one button. That would be a neat solution. Just a thought. Bob, W5LT

My 2 cents is that an overall better solution is to keep your computer on a small interruptible power supply (UPS). You don't need one that will last that long (5 or 10 minutes is fine), and there are plenty of small ones available from companies like APC (www.apc.com), Belkin (www.belkin.com)

Hey Glen, As reliable as REC (REA) power is, even I have a ups on my dx4win computer and the Ye Ole Icom 781. I have learned the hard way too. Now I use the SAVE button a lot more too plus the export button to save the Q's to another source. I am using a APC 1000 unit. Another thing I do:
