[WriteLog] Anyone have RTTY problems during Roundup?

[Rob]

I operated using SO2R and had no stuttering or freeze up problems. At one 
point, the right-hand radio stopped transmitting though I could hear the 
computer doing its thing. I turned the radio (a K3) off and back on, and it 
worked flawlessly from them on.

The one thing that irks me is when a call comes up with only part of it in 
green, and you click on the first character, it only picks up the green 
portion of the call and you have to manually type in the rest. For calls 
that are not greened out, it will pick up the whole call. But, I guess 
that's normal behavior.
