I have thought this happened to me before, but when I looked into it after
the fact, I had hit some key by accident and was 'sending' to a second radio
that didn't exist. Could something like that have happened?
Usually, in the heat of the contest, this mistake is easily made. It's easy
to miss the 'Rig 2' if you are using one radio and not used to paying
attention to it. Using the commands to disable two-radio mode in the more
recent versions help.
