   I lost one too, and didn't notice till I had quit the program. Found 
   several others before exiting and just scrolling back through the buffer 
   till I found them. I have the buffer set to some ridiculously high number 
   just so I can do just that. Very nice feature if I would just look harder 
   before exiting. No software glitches that I know of. No monitor on FSK with 
   the 570, so I don't know if I had the "dead key" problem. Thanks to 
   everyone for being there.

This is one of the reasons I'd like to see a WF1B-like .AIR file for
WL.  I think these are legitimate fixes to a log, after the contest,
and they're MUCH easier if you're working with a text file, rather
than re-decoding an audio file.

Please???
