I also used 6.48 with a 930/PIEXX.  No problems.

This is the way it has always worked.

Make sure that you always have MULTIPLE MODES = TRUE, regardless of the
contest.  I had my 930/PIEXX with TR get "stuck" on SSB in a previous CW
contest with MULTIPLE MODES = FALSE.


No crashes or any other bad behavior this weekend with 6.48 and 2 radios.

A little wierd when it was trying to back up to a floppy with smartdrv A+ -
seemed slow giving up control of the floppy and giving it back to real-time
logging, but sure beats waiting on the floppy without using smartdrv.
