Or an option to possibly, "Ignore completed Call-signs in 1 minute". How many times do you think you've got a QSO finished then realize they're still sending "RR73" or "RR"? You then have to scramble back up and re-hit their last message to resend your "final". Something might have covered up part of your final and they don't record the QSO as properly finished (meantime your client is ignoring "finished" call-sign for a day or two - which is an option I seem to think I'll like).
