Hi Jim,
I also believed that khz should be KHz, however I have come to learn that
the proper method is in fact kHz. The h is capitalized to honor the
physicist Heinrich Hertz.

QSO,

entered.
> HOWEVER, using the mouse to "Enter in log" did NOT perform the check,
> it allowed me to log serial number-less QSOs.

when

contest,

idea

> 5. Auto (timed) CQ didn't work with MMTTY 1.65. I could never get it to

> 6. In the lower-left hand corner, "kHz" should be abbreviated "KHz" and

> 14080 KHz FSK

> 7. It annoys me that when you type in a call, in the logging box it says

> you enter the serial number, the "New Mult" indication goes away.

> 8. When I was CQing, INSERT would pick up the highlighted-call from the

> I was in S&P mode, it did not. For example, I dump in my call, I get
> a report back, I hit
> INSERT then it sends the F3 message above without his callsign.
