SV: [TRLog] CW problems

[Ville Hiilesmaa]

I used to switch to the American keyboard before using TR. Then the / sign is no more behind the switch-key.
At DOS prompt, type KEYB US (for the US keyboard).
To return to the national one, type KEYB SU (for the Scandinavian keyboard).

The prerequisite, of course,  is that you have KEYB.COM on your hard disk.

Then I had to hit Shift-7 to get the / during the time the call was sent, which moved my listening frequency and messed up the CW, and then I was lost...
