My suggestion was to enable a check box that auto sequences a call (HISCALL MYCALL MYGRID) on the cursor frequency only if a CQ (TX6) is selected. That way, you can park on his DF, and when he sends CQ, you will automatically call him. I suppose we can get fancy and allow selection of any CQ (including CQ DX) or just the standard one. It would also be nice to have a check box that only calls another station after he sends 73- this would be for when you want to work someone that is already in a QSO. If set up this way, you won't QRM an ongoing QSO.

It does appear the window of opportunity is pretty small. Given the protocol, I’m not sure about the answer. Maybe extend the cycles to 20 seconds without increasing the TX time? Hire teenage gamers with cat-like reflexes to click for us old coots?
