Hi Sig

Tnx for your long report.

I let Olivier answer on VHF+ and WK specific topics.

We are interested in a formal step by step procedure to reproduce this 
bug, if any.

Edit the MODE.DAT file.

This has been already discussed on this list.

The current dvpt version can lower the speed down to 12 WPM. It will be 
operational in the next official version.

Use Ctrl-E to mimic an ESC character in the Packet Window.

For obvious reasons, we can't make these informations publicly 
available. Please contact sales at win-test.com for further informations on 
the different ways to buy WT.

Noted.

New contests are added along the time. Like in real life, being patient 
and polite are usually the best ways to be heard ;-)  We'll do our best...
