Hi John,

I opened that window before, but it did not show anything. I just tried again, and it worked. User error, perhaps. :o

I was hoping that the info would also present itself when double clicking a QSO in the Recent QSO (F7) window, but that's not important.

Thank you very much for your reply.

You will see also a [WORKED BEFORE] label in the notification area on the top left area of the main UI

Yes, it does provide an indication of band and mode worked.

One thing I just noticed, and likely explains why the Worked Before window was working 'intermittently' for me.

If I enter a callsign in the main UI, and the Worked Before window is already opened, it'll list all the previous QSOs with that station.

If I enter a callsign in the main UI, and then open the Worked Before window, it does not lists the previous QSOs with the station.

Yes that is by design

The call you already entered is historic once it's been looked up, the WB4 window is dynamic and watching for new qso's to check

Anyway in the next release WB4 has changed and should keep everyone happy

Version 2.1.0.0 installed.

Just an observation.

If I click refresh on the Worked Before window, it displays all the QSOs, just like the Recent QSO's (F7) window.

I was thinking that refresh would bring up the previous QSOs with the callsign in the main UI box, if the Worked Before window was invoked/opened after the callsign was entered in the main UI box.
