Hi Joe,

I love the idea of “Lock Tx Freq”.  After compiling and running r8127, I found 
that it works as advertised on the Wide Graph.  But when double clicking on 
Decoded Text, the behavior doesn’t seem to change regardless if “Lock Tx freq” 
is checked or unchecked.  For example, if I double click with Command held down 
(I’m using OS X 10.11.6), the Tx frequency jumps to the decoded frequency no 
matter the state of the check box.

One other thing seems broken - from JT-Bridge (2.2.5), double clicking a CQ 
call no longer has any effect (doesn’t cause WSJT-X to reply).  If I go back to 
1.8 rc2, even without restarting JT-Bridge, it works fine.  I cycled back 
through each revision, and had to go back to r8119 before a double-click on a 
CQ in JT-Bridge causes WSJT-X to initiate a reply.  Did something in r8120 
disable the incoming UDP messages?  

Also, I see that it says not to use “this feature” on the air in the r8120 
commit comments, but does that mean we should not use any release r8120 or 
above on the air?  Or is it something that we have to specifically do to use 
“RR73 NOW” and “NIL NOW”, like enter those into Tx 4 manually?

Thanks again for all your hard work!
