TR Overlay

[Bob Wruble]

I see merit in using different color and mebbe even font size for the
nr box..
my old eyes have trouble locking back on the nr box on fone and i
often
stumble on the exchange as a result......

i have asked tree abt doing this but so far he has not gotten to
it....he did 
however think it was doable and wud look into........  im surprised
that you
have not interfaced ur radios to the sw....that eliminates the issue
cuz the sw t5racks the radio and vice--versa but gess u are wking on
the that....
