I switched back to 9.27, found the 2-radio switch at Pin 16 of LPT1.

TR 6.15 and 6.17 use Pin 14 for the 2-radio switch.  Both seem to work
ok, and I admire the work that has gone into each logging package.

I use the J-Com RS232 to TTL adapters for Kenwood.  Sometimes find I
have to recycle the radios because the adapters are powered off the
serial port and tend to lock up the port at turnon.

It would be great to have the same pinouts, and it would also be great
to have the TR Alt-D process implimented as a popup window in CT.

Besides automating the 2-radio S&P process, I am most interested in
optimizing CT for rate in big pileups:  how do I keep track of the 3 or
4 additional calls I pull out of a pileup without using pencil and paper
scratchpad (impossible at 300+/hr!), trying to remember them all during
the exchanges (I can do 1, sometimes 2 if it's someone I recognize), or
restarting the pileup (a bad option, really loses rate in my experience
at P4, EA9, HC8).  How about a popup scratchpad window, don't need
autotransfer from scratchpad to log, just a place to store the calls.
