Does anyone know how CT calculates time 'on' and time 'off' as displayed in the
rate window?

During the last contest, I was on for many more hours than the time indicated.
It indicated 12 hours on and 18 off.
In reality I was on more than 12.

Possibilities:

1. When CT is running, that is it quits keeping time while it is not up and
running and keeps counting even when you are listening and
not entering anything.  When you quit the program  it stops and when you begin
again, it starts. (This does not seem right).

2. It starts a counter when you enter a call in the log and stops timing after
you hit the enter to record it in the log.
Then it does not start the timer again until you enter another call. (This seems
what it may be doing).


I can't think of any other way it may be keeping track of time 'on'.
