The Auto tickbox must be ticked for screen updates to occur. There is actually a very brief green flash, then 2 seconds later a yellow flash occurs. The green flash is when it copies the WSJT-X all.txt file to the local folder - very quickly for SSDs. The yellow flash is while it processes the file into reverse order then puts the data-matching details to screen.
The tickbox next to MyCall doesn't show anything different if you aren't making QSOs - so your callsign in Call#1 or Call#2 has not triggered a colour change to red for those lines.
I have had my copy with VK in the Search List box just observing the various QSOs and CQs from VK stations, then I noticed VJ6X on air (in WSJT-X) so added a ",VJ" and all of those QSOs and calls appeared too.
Note that with WSJT-X proper, you need to stop the 'Monitor' button to scroll back in history (up) else it refreshes every 15 seonds (FT8). Unticking the BandView 'Auto' box achieves a similar effect but the QSOs update normally in the WSJT-X Band Activity window - so no other band history data is lost.
It might help someone somewhere make that elusive QSO !

PS Not sure what contest the guys using 2X1 calls are operating in but it seems to be almost every day !
Just rechecked the AMC web site and it specifically says only for contest use.
