* A lot of testing was done with K1TTT and K1EP with regard to testing
   mode and radio issues.

* Thanks to a loan from W1JR, the FT817 is online.

* All the flavors of multimode contests should be stable with respect to
   changing mode issues. When changing bands, the radio should return to 
the last mode used.

* There are some things to be aware of when using radio control

     1. If you toggle ALT F4 too quickly, IE the radio doesn't get 
completely switched
        before trying to switch back, you can lose your run frequency. We all
        HATE that. In time I hope to have a completely secure method worked 
out.

     2. If you toggle to a spot in a multi-mode contest CT will not
        automatically set the mode for you. You need to set it yourself.
        Unfortunately when you ALT-F4 to your run frequency and ALT-F4 back 
to the spot
        you will have to set the mode again. I anticipate fixing this in 
the near future.

     3. I don't have access to most of the radios on the supported list, so you
        will have to try as many contest/category/modes as possible and 
give me
        good feedback before all is solid.

     4. I have been getting random "radio timeout" messages with the MP, 
but it
        doesn't seem to affect operation at all.

* Fixed the "VE's always show up as mults in the CQ160 contest" bug.

* Put FM mode back in the VHF contests

* Added "default frequencies," IE 14.025 and 144.200 instead of band edges

* fixed minor bug in pass command

* fixed minor bug in partner mode

* added -NOLPT startup switch to unconditionally turn off all LPT activity
