Will try this tomorrow evening, Steve. Then, I'll send a packet
message, and see what happens.
I still don't understand why when using the Signalink on HF, it keys the rig
whenever I tab from entry field to entry field in the N3FJP software when
using the wave files, but that may be related to the problem I had last Fall
with the TS590 and the USB virtual comport driver.
It's amazing how some of this stuff comes around full circle sometimes.
