You hit a bug! :-) I got it fixed, and will release soon.

I don't have any "secondary" radio connected here, but changing mode 
looks OK in the window. Could you give a try with no radio connected, 
just to see if it changes anything please?

I'm afraid it is a limitation of such SO2R interfaces: you cannot 
control everything with a single LPT port! :) I'll think about this 
problem but I'm not sure I can do anything for. :-(

Right. I've to check this!

There is a real problem with the numpad which shares scancodes with 
other keys. That was rather a challenge to get the SHIFT+NUMPAD the keys 
redirected in the secondary window. I don't think of being able moreover 
to manage the key INSERT, sorry.

Sorry not to be able to satisfy you fully regarding your observations. 
And thanks for help in bug discovering!
