[TRLog] Fw: HELP!

[James Funk]

I tried:
    changing the zone in the cfg.dat file
    specifying zone 7 in the cq and s&p memories
        AND
    changing my zone in cty.dat

I finally got version 6.55 to send zone 7 correctly, so I suppose I
shouldn't complain.  However, the computer keying the radio is using version
6.45, and the identical treatment failed to correct the problem.

73, Jim N9JF
