[ct-user] CW Abbrev & Leading Zeros (Prob.Solved)

[R.T.Liddy]

Hi Steve,
   
  I tried the CT 9.92 on a different computer - same results.  Couldn't get rid of
  leading zeros & cw abbrev's.  So, I conclude it is a bug.  (Wkd OK in 9.66)
   
  So, I downloaded all the files and upgraded from 9.66 to 9.92 to 10.03.  And,
  that fixed it. NO leading zeros & NO cwabbrev's.   :O)
   
  Thanks for your help & info on your config.
   
  73 & Cheers,   Bob K8BL (VP2EOH/VK4BTL/ZL0AAE)

Hi Bob

I am using CT 10.01.010 and getting expected results. It may well be 
time to update!

For details fo my configuration, see:

It's not my best piece of technical writing, so let me know if further 
clarification is required.


Good luck,
Steve
