Bill,

I am having EXACTLY the same problems with TR-LOG.. it is definitely
a defect in the OMNI firmware. Interestingly, on 4800 bd the keyer lockup
does not happen, only on 1200 and 2400 bd. BTW, the lockup not only happens
to the internal keyer, also the external keying line is DEAD AS A DODO.

The only remedy is switching the rig on and off.

Another interesting feature of the OMNI VI: when I try the computer interface
with 1200 or 2400 Bd, the tuning rate goes down to 85 Hz per rev. This can only
be changed by a MASTER RESET. Also this effect is not present at 4800 Bd..

Hope this helps,
