Maybe I’m just tired but what is call stacking or Stacking partial calls mean?

If you only hear partial calls you can stack the pieces separated by two slashes… then call them each back.
//1Ao//SSD//K3
and then you work back thru the stack

Hi Alan

Excuse my ignorance, I don’t understand how this function of stacking is used in the app?

Can you provide examples and possible key stokes.

How do the stacked callsigns/partial end up as unique entries in the activator’s log?

Thanks in advance.

@KI2D Sebastian, could you adjust permissions on the videos @Ham2KApps so they can be played on other websites? It is handy to call them up here.

Wait you mean like in a pile up if I hear someone start and with like “K7” and I hear someone end with “AA” I could do //k7//aa and then keep track of who I’m missing? If that’s what you’re saying that is going to be awesome! I generally can remember the other partials for about 30 nanoseconds before it falls out of my head…

UPDATE: Watched the video holy cow that is going to be helpful! Can’t wait to give it as try!
