SSB or CW?

Sounds like you have a radio interfaced?  Perhaps I left some kind of
debug message in there?

Sounds like the radio and computer aren't talking very well.  What
kind of radio do you have interfaced?

There are some places where I don't display the name if it is the same
callsign as the last time I put up a name.  Perhaps there are a few
of these where the name got erased.   This shouldn't be a problem during
normal operation.

Ahha!  The IC765 and TR aren't talking to each other very well.  N7TR
is sending me one and I hope to have some improvements soon.
