Hi Nate.

Yes, of course. You need to use serial number reservation functionality which works for Single op (SO2R), not only for Multi ops.

As this is CW contest, here is my proposal how to do it.

First of all, network needs to be enabled.
In Options->Network configuration, make sure that "Start number server" checkbox is checked.
Next, in Options->Networking options make sure that "Use number server" option is checked too.

By default, number is reserved by pressing Spacebar. This is useful for SSB contest, but for CW and/or digi modes, I prefer number reservation
with macro command. So, make sure number reservation by pressing Spacebar is disabled (Tools->Data entry menu), and
add $RESERVENR macro in your $F2 message.

You will see that number is reserved (by default number is in red color and message is shown in status bar).
If you press F11 or ALT+W, reservation is cancelled.

Let me know if it worked for you.

Group,
I've noticed a problem with serial numbers for WPX CW with DXLOG. When in SO2R mode and running two pileups, the serial number in the log entry window for the other radio does not increment.
For example,
On radio 1 I send N4ABC a report of ENN 001 and when done immediately send a report to K4ABC on radio 2 he too will receive ENN 001 because the serial number doesn't increment until the station on radio 1 is actually logged.
Is there a potential fix for this?
