HI Mark -

I'm puzzled about your bug #1 description. First, I assume that you really 
meant typing ALT-D rather than CTRL-D to do a dupe check on the 2nd radio. 
Using 6.79, when I type in a callsign to check on the second radio using 
ALT-D, if it is a dupe, I not only here the "beep" but the message "W4AU 
DUPE" shows up in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Usually at 
that point I am tuning the second radio right away to look for someone else 
to work. I don't know about the persistence problem with the callsign that 
was previously checked; it always seemed to be there when I got a chance to 
hit the space bar and work the guy.

It's amazing to me how well Tree has integrated SO2R into this program; it 
makes it very easy to utilize the second radio and do everything from the 
keyboard.

73 - John, W4AU
