[WriteLog] Sound Card Demodulation questions

[Jim Rhodes]

The color bar on the left side of the window doesn't do it for me. Maybe
a reverse color scheme on the line printing?  I never thought about the 
"clicking on moving text" problem, but it makes sense now.

BTW, using the sound card & usually the "wide mode" last weekend I was 
suprised a number of times that it printed replies that I didn't hear. A 
couple of times I hit F6 again only to look up & see the station replying 
even though I could not pick it out through the hash & noise.  Using a 
cyrix 200mhz/64meg/Yamaha 64 bit card. I was impressed. But then the only 
thing I have to compare it to is my old Kantronics UTU.
