[ct-user] SS + 9.46.002

[Robert S Morris]

Had the same problem here with a short trial at 2 radio 2 band 2 computer
operation in the 15M position.. Only way I saw to get the number unlocked
was to
turn that computer off and back on again..
Had 10 computers on during SS hooked thru a LAN. Not all of the numbers
got corrected before sending..
