[TenTec] band stacking

[Steve Ellington]

Carl. Your server finally came up and I read the info. I couldn't understand
if your program is something that runs strictly on the PC or if it actually
replaces the firmware in the rig. I'm waiting on TenTec to release the new
one but so far, no show.
I took you advice about turning off the sweep and just had 2 hours of solids
QSO time without a reset. That sweep must eat up a lot of processor and
eventually lock up the rig. Wonder if the new firmware will fix that?
