Before starting the setup I check the rttycontesting.com web site and found that there was a new version of 2Tone, 13.09b, available for download.  My version was 13.04a so I downloaded it, unzipped it and think I have it correctly located.  When setting up WL my clone window for 2Tone works ok and the Help button shows the version as 13.09b as I expected.

Is this normal with version 13.09b or is it the 75 baud speed?  Anybody tried receiving off the air at 75 baud with this version of 2Tone yet?  Will there be a pre-contest warm up period to check macros, settings, reception, etc. before next Sunday?  Would like to make sure this latest version is working correctly before then.
