And that is different from a Clear menu command and keyboard
equivalent in what important way ? - except for being faster :)

Fast Keyboard Logging for Contesters:

• Enter call.
• Hit return (this does a lookup).
• One <tab> takes you to SRX numeric.
• Hit <shift><command> L this logs the call and highlights call text.
STX auto-increments (set in Prefs Panel).
• <command> K clears all the fields and repositions the cursor to the
Call Sign field. - Ready for 1 again.
• <shift><command> V returns focus to the VFO so that arrow keys or
PowerMate key sequences can be used to tune VFO.
• Power, RST Sent, and RST Received fields are remembered across
sessions and not cleared since they are hand entered and not found in
a look up.

• If you are planning to use Cab-Converter to create a Cabrillo file
after a contest where they want a serial number, you would add that in
SRXn and check the the box "inc STX" (auto-increment) under the
logging box in the Prefs Panel. This would start the serial number of
the log at 00001 and add a new number automatically with each new QSO.
You would add the received serial number in theSRXn box. When
receiving other info for contests, such as, Power, that would go in
the "srx" box. The three areas that are usually needed for contest
are: "SRXn/STXn", "srx/stx", and "RST". In the major ARRL & CQ
contests all the info needed is contained in these boxes. Even though
you add "pwr" and already know you state in your MLDX info and in Cab-
Converter, you still need to add these in the correct boxes.
