[Trlog] SS CW observations

[Mike Wetzel]

I used the newest version this past weekend and had no crashes or issues.

On the dupe checking, I also found using the 'alt-d' would halt the program
so I trained myself to not use it during the exchange entirely, I don't
understand, is there a time during the exchange when I could have used it.

Keep up the good work Tree and I can test things quickly again if needed.

Thanks for the info.

This is "normal" behavior.  The dupe check routine isn't capable of noticing
that the CW sending has caught up to your input and kicking off the rest of
the exchange.  I have just trained myself not to do a dupecheck during this
slice of time.

:-)  Okay.  Was mostly kidding.

Maybe in about 5 years when I retire and have time to teach myself a new 
operating system.
