I've also seen this happen with some radios for about the past 10 or 15 
versions of TR.  I suspect that it is a radio control issue and may be 
solved by either adjusting the timeout, the baud rate, or ignoring partial 
data.  I saw this on an ICOM IC-761 and an Orion, but never on our 
FT1000MPs.  Maybe this will all get fixed by Tree's overhaul of the radio 
interface code.

The Q/M window jitters started only in the past couple of versions.  It 
seems pretty harmless but is distracting when it happens.

I've previously reported at least one major bug in the Bandmap when toggling 
either dupes/no-dupes or single/all bands.  What you report may be yet 
another symptom that occurs when toggling between Bandmap modes during a 
contest.  My recollection is that it was quite frustrating because it wasn't 
tracking dupes correctly so I'd try calling a station in the Bandmap only to 
have the spot change to a dupe when I made the attempt.  It also lost all 
the spots near the high end of each band.
