Seems I recall there being a fairly simply remedy to this problem... at least to remedy MOST, if not all, of it. If I recall, it was the addition of a cap somewhere, but (unfortunately) I don't recall where. Double check the archives, or maybe someone will offer it up. 73, Tom Hammond N0SS At 10:45 AM 9/22/04, Larry Phipps wrote: >Interestingly, my TS850S does this too... it's a well known bug in the >TS850.
