No.  DOS is on the CD and TR is on a FAT32 on the hard drive.

Radio.


My first thought was also some sort of sleep mode.  I went into the 
BIOS and looked for sleep options and could find none.

Looking at, hearing things more closely, it appears to be the CD 
drive.  When I type a call in the S&P field and hit return, sending 
doesn't start for about four seconds when I can see the hard drive 
light come on and see the CD drive light come on momentarily and hear 
the CD drive start to turn.

So, on a whim, I opened the CD drive and tried again.  After letting 
computer sit for half hour, now when I type a call in the S&P field 
and hit return, sending is immediate.  And, don't need the ^ in S&P 
exchange--the initial 5 sends as a 5 instead of a 6.

Problem solved?  I hope so.  Don't have an explanation.  Fingers are crossed.

Thanks Mark, thanks Tree.
