Thanks Bill,
Your revision is going well here so far on Win7 and Win 8. I did
eventually solve one wrinkle, which also occurs in the previous release ...
When switching from JT65 mode to WSPR-2 mode oddly the "RX Frequency"
window remains in place, and only vanishes when the "Show DXCC entry and
worked before status" option is unchecked.
Thanks & Cheers,
Tony VK2AJF
