[MacLoggerContest] Fwd: [DogParkList] MacLoggerDX V5 for Cocoa 5.01b3

[Jonathan G0DVJ]

Have moved this thread for fear of driving folk away again !

My 2c/2p worth

Best not to confuse the purpose of each SCP and Dupe checks in  
contests ...

Dupe Check needs to flag as soon as you type a call whether it has  
been worked in this event (i.e. since/limited time/date) and  
optionally (maybe a checkbox) on the same band.

SCP needs to match calls from K5ZD's database as you type a call so  
that when so many call you or condx are difficult, you can make a  
better judged guess at what the full call is... just as it did in  
v4.   SCP doesnt need options for limiting by band/date/time although  
it would be nice to highlight/color matches that have already been  
worked on another band according to the Dupe Check (above) If and only  
If the checkbox has not been marked to say that it wouldnt be a  
dupe.   i.e. there is more chance you will match a call with someone  
you already worked on another band than with the entire database!
