Simple.most people send the extra 73..at least that's what I see >50% of the
time.
I've had people keep sending me a 73 waiting for a 73 in reply.
I think the only reason RRR was in there in the first place was because
nobody realized RR73 would be compressed.= and not take any more room.
I see more and more people using RR73..yeah.you CAN type it in every time
you do a QSO but isn't that the whole point of "Generate Standard
Messages"???? Minimize mouse clicks and keystrokes?
It's a minor change that impacts nobody that doesn't want to use it.so no
harm done.

Frankly, I do not see how it saves 2 minutes. The based on the initial
protocol, the RRR is the final acknowledgement of the QSO from the station
calling CQ. The final 73 is the acknowledgement that the answering station
received that ACK.
It really saves nothing, it still takes three transmissions per side.
Just my two cents about something that can be entered by the user as a free
text message on one message tab, or edited into the list on the other
message tab.

Coded up an option under the General tab for using RR73 instead of RRR.
I've been seeing RR73 more and more and, IMHO it's a very clear sign off
besides saving 2 minutes per QSO (noting that others have said RRR is an
implied 73 so why not make it explicit rather than implicit).
I was tempted to make it default to true.any real reason that couldn't be
done other than shocking too many people and the inevitable "why did that
change and how do I change it back" questions?
So this gives the option to use it (default=false) and will auto prompt for
logging if that option is also enabled.
