Thanks. I had a look at your audio switching circuit also. Pretty neat. I
don't know if my ears can stand 2R stereo very long, and if not I can use
your circuit.
It shouldn't really be difficult to manage the lockout manually provided I
don't use the timed CQ repeat. Finger button might be tired after awhile,
though.
WL is a terrific program. It is a shame old features break sometimes as
other new features are implemented.
