I updated to 1.367 just as soon as it was available.  Like you, I 
believe in giving folks a chance by keeping upto date.  Unfortunately, 
1.367 wasn't useable for me because of the problem with rough sidetone 
which it reintroduced.  I only used 1.367 for a day and had many 
instances of the zizzy sidetone so I reverted to 1.366 and mailed Gary 
at ditsnbits to make him aware of the problem.  I had no direct response 
but I gather that's the norm, so I don't know what's happening with it.  
Though, I do know I am not the only one experiencing the sidetone 
problem under 1.367 as other folks have mailed me confirming that it 
caused them the same problem.   Are you not seeing the sidetone problem 
with 1.367?
