I am a avid? POTA chaser. Before when I enter the park number in OTHER POTA section it use to show me if was new or a dupe. Now it does not. I have to look thru all the qso's before I enter the callsign.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Glad you found the problem, but you should work the "dupe" POTA anyway if it is on a different UTC day. It counts for the activator and there are awards for working the same park multiple times.

Dave,
I may be confused.? I thought you wanted to know if you had worked the park before using the park number in your other pota box; not is the activator.? The suggestions that others have given you will let you know if the Op (activator) is a dupe.? The way that I check to see if I have already worked a park is to enter only the park designator in your sig_info box and then use the "alt-s" search feature of ACL to see if I have already worked the park.? I also support what the other responders have said about working the stations anyway.? the activator is relying on you to make his activation a success.? I only use the search feature to prioritize my seaching.? my philosophy is "if I can hear em I work em."

Oops!? I also wanted to give an alternate dupe checking method.
1.?? Goto Settings-List Matches for these fields with tab
2.?? select the field that contains the Pota park designator.? mine is other 1
3.?? enter the park designator in the appropriate box on the contact entry form and touch tab.

If you have a repeat on the park you will see the park listed in the top section of ACl
