1022 QSOs on 40M with version 10.03 using Icom Radio control and CW
interface. No crashes or "major" problems. I did have the ARRL Section
list occasionally pop-up blank. I then did a check call (F9) and then Alt+L
again and the list appeared normal. Am trying to recreate exact scenario.
This happened maybe 3 or 4 times. Not a bad problem, just an annoyance.
I do get a number of messages saying "Radio out of contest band" (or close
to that)as I spin the dial. Occasionally this also causes the currently
selected band on NA to change, then change right back to the correct band.
I was using IC-736/CT-17 but the address in the radio has been changed to
match that of an IC-765 so my other older software will work with it (those
other versions do not recognize IC-736). Again, not a bad problem, just an
annoyance.
Final comment/enhancement suggestion. When doing an F8 (Check Partial) on a
callsign with a "?" in it, the "?" is not ignored when doing the check
partial (i.e. "N8JEC?" is not found in the log if "N8JEC" had indeed been
worked). I found myself several times during FD sending a call in CW with
"?" in it and then doing a check partial as the CW was being sent. The "?"
threw the partial check off. Could NA be modified to ignore the "?"?
Otherwise, looks solid. I wanted to try network link but had serial port
problems on 1 of the PCs so it ran stand-alone.

If it works, its production. If it doesn't, it was a good test.
