Hi all,

I would like to continue with the discussion how to fix the non
working Ctrl-B (send spot to cluster) function.

Some first feedback went in favor of the following:

I would further suggest the following behavior:

* TLF prepares the string 'DX freq call ' and allows to add an comment.
  That is the standard cluster message you have to send.
* You can stop the sending of the cluster message by pressing ESC
  instead of the Enter key above.
* Ctrl-B should mainly work from 'S&P' mode. I think it will not make
  much sense when in 'Run'.
* If call input field is set and transceiver online it should send out
  the DX spot based on teh actual data, but keep the call input field
  filled. 
* If call input field is empty (because you just had worked the
  station) Ctrl-B will use the last logged QSO data.

Open questions:

* Shall we support entering frequency by hand if no rig is active like
  we do it for Ctrl-A?
* Should Ctrl-B work from call input and from exchange field?

Please give feedback if I overlooked something or if you like a
different behavior. I will try to prepare a first working version in
next days.

73, de Tom DL1JBE
