Not really convinced! Can you imagine, setting up for M/S, two stations, 
6 operators, each wanting to record their own messages. 6x2x8=96 
recordings. Now, where did we put the dummy load? or don't forget to 
turn the power back up and switch the amp on! I guess it is OK on 
something like an FT1000MP where you can have a dummy load on antenna B, 
which is what I am doing now, but my K2 hasn't got that facility.

I have rebooted my computer several times and still find the same 
problem. First time I press Fx I get message replay, after that I have 
to press Escape and then Fx.
