so, that's clear, very clear - but... :)

May be I just complicate this S&P mode, but I think it would be
better to send a message to RUN station when I press ENTER (which
configured for ALT+3 now), and when all thing is right, and
station acknowledged my report, then I can save the QSO _without_
any message. But as I wrote above, may be that's just my
misunderstanding.

Anyhow, I check this config as you wrote, and it works as you
wrote :), I'll try to adapt this way :).


Just an idea: may be it could be good to implement a short key to
save the QSO without send any TU message - what is your opinion?

yes, that's what I missed out,

thanks for all, Ed, my New Year's resolution is "I will never use
Tlf without TU messages" :)
