Is it possible to add a callsign quick filter in the header that filters recent QSOs. If I want to quickly check if I have contacted someone before, I currently have to populate the main callsign screen then have to open the worked before screen and then click the red cross to cancel.
If there was an independent filter box say to the right of the F11 weather tab or as a operator selection in each field heading , I could query without using the call callsign screen

Might be a worthy consideration.
In the meantime give this a thought ... I have the Main UI open and I also keep a WB4 panel (from View / Worked Before) below the Main UI.
I'll do many callsign lookups either manual entry or from band map or cluster and can immediately see the calls with that OM in the WB4 panel. That same data is also available in the F10 Tab, but I like to have it on my eyes in a heartbeat.
Once I see what I might need I'll simply tap the ESC key on my keyboard and the callsign in the Main UI is removed along with all the data. The ESC key tap does the same as the Red X.

Re: Quick Callsign Filter
Thanks Nolan for the suggestion. I see your point but the I still have to cancel the call afterwards.
There are many times when in SP mode that I just to quick enter a call on the reverse beacon network and see if I have worked them before. I may do this multiple times before deciding to make a call
Ideally a separate filter could be added independently of the main filter leaving the main callsign just for contacts you want to contact and one that doesn't require a long swipe to the red cross on the right hand side (which is a long way on a larger monitor) e.g type call and enter to filter, overtype and enter to refresh or blank out to clear the filter.
Filter box could sit to the right of the F11 box:

I would like to have this feature as well.

Re: Quick Callsign Filter
Just click the Esc key and it clears all as Nolan already suggested
Enter the call
Look at WB4
Worked the guy so click Esc
Not any more effort than what you request
