Nice to read you there Scott!

You probably need to adust the (wave) output level (double click on the 
speaker tray icon located near the clock to open the Windows Audio 
Control and ajust the levels).

Thanks for your comments on the US contest which I will consider for a 
next release. We didn't have so much feedback on these contest 
implementations yet and it's interesting to have the opinion of a NA op.

Yes it is. The TAB key would get the caret moving between the RST sent 
and the RST/# received.

To move among each field, you can use the < key. I hope that it works as 
well with a US QWERTY keyboard (as far as I know, this key is located at 
a different place).

Alt-1 and Alt-2 are now used for the "Partner" window (usefull for M/S, 
M/2 or M/M operation) and are not available anymore for the radio control.

About the * key: maybe a keyboard localisation issue again? You should 
try ' which is located where the * is here in a French AZERTY keyboard! 
The * key of the numpad would work as well (you should then redefine 
this key to a more confortable one).

There is also another alternative to toggle radios with the ALT-/ (like 
in CT, I guess).

If you are operating SO2R / SO2R advanced mode (see Menu "Operating | 
Technique"), you can also use the SHIFT key to redirect all keyboard 
events to the "Secondary radio" window (see the Windows menu).
