[WriteLog] W5XD/K5DJ Multi-Keyer stops

[Dick Dievendorff]

But I'm worried that if/when I eventually go to two-radio contesting that
the thing won't key both rigs. So I have to figure this out very soon.
Maybe it's the software. Maybe the firmware in the box is broken.  I just
don't know.

Dick, K6KR
