[WriteLog] TrueTTY/Type ahead buffer wish

[Donald Eriksen]

Grant,
I second the motion for an always available type ahead buffer for RTTY and
PSK. Having to invoke one takes too long for me.

Being a FT100D user, this brings up the subject of two radio control of the
FT1000 series radios. Surely there are enough of them being used with
WriteLog that maybe Wayne would consider adding it to the "to be considered
" list??

There have been two or three queries about this, I have one by Andy DF3IAL
SM4CNN from Feb. 20 in front of me now and I've seen others.
