I can't seem to get the atomic message function to work despite several
exchanges with Tom  W2SC, who uses it.  I've used the following F1 messages
either from the instructions or examples from others.

CQ %AK4ZW and CQ %A K4ZW
CQ a%K4ZW
CQ%A K4ZW%a
and maybe a few others.

Regardless of what I do, while the Two Radio Run Mode is running, I can hit
F1 on the left keyboard and interrupt the sending of K4ZW by hitting F1 on
the right keyboard.  It then starts the CQ on the right keyboard.  Same
thing happens if I hit F1 on the left keyboard. Sending of K4ZW on the
right radio is interrupted.

It seems like a very easy concept with straightforward instructions.  Yet
apparently I'm not doing something right.  Besides sounding like a Lid, I
don't like the idea of chopping off a character or two, then having the RBN
spot me as something like K4ZA, K4ZE, and having a bunch of dupes calling.

Any help would be appreciated.
