[SJRA-Members] Trouble with N1MM not spotting my contacts

[Richard VonLintig]

Joe and all,

I think you mean the line that says "Spot All S&P QSOs" that is on the
Config menu of the latest version of N1MM.

Or maybe it is the one that says "Enter Sends Message (ESM Mode)"?  No, I
don't think so.

I used the config menu to configure ports, etc., and to change station
data, but did not look at it much after that.  And I just noticed that the
state of the Spot All S&P QSOs" button shows is reflected by a check mark
to the left of it if it is on.  So I guess that was my trouble.

The manual does not seem focused on self spotting.  That is where I mostly
went for help.

What does S&P mean?
