"when checked, Autoscroll will automatically be enabled when a new Spot Database Entry is created for a needed callsign".

Action: Double-click on entry in the spot collector window; this is usually filtered by my "Need" requirements.

A BLUE Autoscroll appears with a line through it, showing that Autoscroll is now disabled.

The crossed out Blue Autoscroll will turn RED (crossed out) when a new spot is received. The new spot is NOT displayed in the spot window. But Autoscroll does not recommence when the new entry is received.

+ The appearance of a new Spot Database Entry will not re-enable Autoscroll unless the a confirmed QSO with that Entry's callsign on on it's band in it's mode would advance your award progress.

+ Note that double-clicking a Spot Database Entry only enabled AutoScroll if you double-click in the Entry's left-most column; if you double-click in any other column, AutoScroll will remain enabled.
