Version 1.373b1
- Added additional checks for Curtis keyer control to MENUs. Was only 
called on power-up.
- Add WAIT_FOR_DSP_COMPLETE to mainRF routine. Toby P was reporting 
noise bursts.
- Added call to agc_change in serial AGC routine.

Version 1.373b2
- Removed call to update xtal filter drivers inside the PBT_BW routine. 
This is now handled in the interrupt
 routine. Having it in two placed was causing a conflict when writing to 
the interface chips.
- Added main_dsp_squelch variable to handle MOX for the main receiver. 
Was inadvertantly using the sub receivers
 squelch value for the mains MOX unmute value. This caused a SQL problem 
when the main receiver was in CW mode anytime.

Version 1.373b3
- Corrected problem in AGC system: Occasional noise burst when BW 
encoder or the RF gain knob moved.
 
Version 1.373b4
- Eliminated passing of AGC info to DSP. This was causing Out Of Band 
distortion when used.

01/18/05 Version 1.373b5
- Modified serial control of SubRx AGC. Was not updating sub receiver as 
it should.
