Hello TR Users (and abusers):

    Here's two points that I noticed with TR over the weekend...Maybe 
the problems are user-related as opposed to system-related?

    a) Boy, it would be nice to have some kind of reminder before you 
exit the program that you still have packet connected! It asks you 
about clearing the 5 Qso window...maybe at the same time it could ask, 
"Hey dummy, have you disconnected from your packet cluster?" 

    When I forget (that's a key word!) to disconnect before exiting TR, 
I have to restart TR and then disconnect from the cluster.

    b) I am using the "input config file" for utilizing the generic 
parms within a seperate file; then the contest specific stuff under the 
appropriate sub-directory within the C:\LOG\ arena. When I run POST it 
never seems to know my call? My call parm is contained within the 
C:\TRCONFIG.DAT file, which is the file specified in the "input config 
file" parm.

****<<<Thanks, Tree, corner>>>****:
    The packet feature, band map, and rig control REALLY make DX 
contesting much "easier" especially for the little pistols like me with 
verticals and 100 watts.
