The documentation
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FT4_Protocol.pdf says,
re S+P: "Here “best potential QSO partner” means “New Multiplier” (1st
priority) or “New Call on Band” (2nd priority)."

Now it seems to me that "New Call" implies "New Call on Band", and so
should qualify as a potential QSO partner.

However, in my setup, it does not. (That is, a new call on the band can
trigger the S+P response; while entirely new call, i.e. new on all bands,
doesn't.)

P.S. I'm posting this as a reply to George's note, since its topic fits his
subject line. Just doing my part to try to keep comments here organized a
bit. I do not know how the developers continue to maintain their sanity
without a proper bug reporting and tracking system.
