Getting ready for NAQP and I noticed a problem. Per Gert's suggestion, I'm
using CQ%A K4ZW%A K4ZW%a as the Atomic Message. It works!
However, if I want to do just SO2R using either the Two Radio Run Mode
Processor, which has timed CQ's, or just pressing the F1 key, the run radio
switches to my sending sidetone upon the first K4ZW ("K4ZW K4ZW") and I
lose the ability to listen to the second radio. This happened back in
November at the start of SS CW and I had no clue what was happening. It
totally messed me up. Now I see what is causing it.
For now I'll program another function key with a CQ that I can use for
SO2R. I wonder if anyone else has run into this?
