[WriteLog] W5XD MK-1100 keyer kicks "off".

[Redd Swindells]

Hi Chad, et al.

DUH  DUH  DUH!!!!

You got it, Chad.  I had Number Of Radios=1 checked OK, but needed to 
check "This Window is Radio Left".  The keyer didn't know where the 
radio was.  All is now fine; my little green "L" is back (I hadn't 
missed it).  I have no idea how it became "unchecked".  I'll assume I 
had a case of "Sausage Fingers" and did it to myself.  This also 
explains the problem at the MM.

Thanks, Chad.  This reflector IS the best.

73 es see y'all in SS, Redd, WB2DVU
