Bill,
As I think some others have been reporting, the unchecking of "Clear DX call and grid after logging" seems to be broken on my Windows version of rc5. Mine is unchecked, yet it continues to clear the DX call and grid, jump to TX6, and toggle TX Enable off whenever mine sends RR73. This has been continuous through many closings and restarts of rc5 with the box unchecked. I have also tried unchecking Call 1st at the beginning of the QSO during my TX of the other station's report, no difference seen here.
I'm not fast enough to recover in time to continue the QSO when the other station sends my report again because he did not copy my report, but mine has already sent RR73, cleared the DX Call and grid, and toggled TX off anyway. Is this just the Windows version problem, or are other versions not having the same problem? I am hoping this has been fixed in the GA release?

Hi Steven,
if you uncheck the option "Settings->Reporting->Clear DX call and grid
after logging" then you get what you want and can be also ready to call
CQ or call another station. You can clear down the DX Call, DX grid, and
messages manually using the F4 keyboard shortcut. Agreed you need to
click twice to reselect Tx4 (RR73) or Tx5 (73) and re-send it, you are
also only two clicks away from calling CQ on a new Tx offset or a
double-click away from calling another station. That seems a fair
balance of usability between calling CQ, always replying to CQ calls,
repeating a message to complete a QSO, or starting a new QSO with
another station calling CQ. None of the options takes more than two
mouse clicks.
