So did I. This happened several times (> 10) and
I may have in fact logged some QSOs on the wrong
band as a result. When SO2R was going fast and
furious, I couldn't tell whether the NONCW QSO up
about 4 in the stack was made on 20m or 40m, so I
just had to guess. If I have QSOs logged on the
wrong band in my LCR, this will be the reason.
This is the first time I've had NONCW or NONSSB messages
make it into the log in quite a long while. The radio
interfacing worked OK while testing, but glitched at
least a dozen times while under battle conditions. (Well,
at least QRP battle conditions, anyway.) I doubt it was RF.

I had the same symptom here. Also, the mult window would
flicker, usually when transmitting, even with no RF applied.
The on-deck call info used to remain visible. Now it seems
to disappear almost immediately. The station is still on-deck,
and you can also see it on the S&P bandmap if it's visible.
I too would prefer that it stay up all the time in the on-deck
line in the mult window like it used to. I think this symptom
happened without me hitting any Escapes at all.

This happened to me at least a half-dozen times. I just hit
Escape several times and started the QSO over again. It sure
got my adrenaline going when it happened. :-)
Other than these few minor glitches, TR worked fabulously
throughout the CW SS, with both radios moving around like crazy.
I agree with KD4D that it was a pleasure to return to good old
TR-Log after using another brand last weekend. ASCII Rules!
