I lost one too, and didn't notice till I had quit the program. Found 
several others before exiting and just scrolling back through the buffer 
till I found them. I have the buffer set to some ridiculously high number 
just so I can do just that. Very nice feature if I would just look harder 
before exiting. No software glitches that I know of. No monitor on FSK with 
the 570, so I don't know if I had the "dead key" problem. Thanks to 
everyone for being there.
