Tnx for the kind words.

FYI, implementing the SO2V mode is not in our future plans. We rather 
concentrate on the "real" SO2R mode. Using WT in single-op in SO2R is 
also GREAT. I even know some ops who WON major contests with it ;-)

Alt-F4 should do it. Like in CT.

Today, we do not differentiate the RUN vs S&P modes. We think it is 
easier to have one mode only, and use different keys to send messages 
like CT does. But, this opinion might change in the future. We'll see...

No. It is mainly related to the way some TRX manage the two VFOs. ICOM 
radios are especially pretty reluctant to give information abt the VFO 
in use in their CAT flow etc... I let Olivier F5MZN arguing on this 
matter if needed.
