Hello Joe,
the occurrence of the false pop up for "contest mode" has seemed to
decrease for us down here in VK but it still catches some out and leads to
confusion and cursing. For those of us hams NOT in the USA and never
likely to want contest mode ever, could a simple tick box be included on
the ADVANCED page to completely disable the contest mode operation?
Regards,
Peter vk5pj
