* 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
