======================================================================

3.16.0 (Sep 7, 2007)

- Intelligent Quick QSL can now be adaptative according to the Instant
   Rate. See the "Intelligent Quick QSL configuration..." window (in
   menu "Tools") for details. Tks CT1BOH.

- Added new macro $QQSLRESET. This macro reset the timer or the
   counter like if the long QSL message were just sent. It makes sense
   to use this macro in each message you send your callsign in like
   CQ (F1 key) or MYCALL (F4 key). That way, you won't send a long
   QSL message after sending your call a few seconds before.
   Tks CT1BOH.

- Added new macros $FREQP and $FREQS - Feature request #8. These new
   macros send accordingly the frequency of the Primary radio and the
   frequency of the Secondary radio. Tks OH4JFN.

- New qualifications to the Kenwood Radios (as well as radios based
   on the same protocol, like SDR-1000, Elecraft):
   - Under certain circonstances, the mode was not read correctly
     at the startup of Win-Test
   - Added the BandMap "Pass to Sub VFO" feature
   - When entering a frequency in the callsign field, the RIT is
     cleared (as far as it is enabled).

- Edition of the Frequency of a logged QSO - Feature request #117.
   In addition to its Date and Time (ALT+F shortcut, or in menu Edit).
   Tks DL4NER.

- Alt-F9/F10 now always change the CW speed by 2 WPM up or down,
   regardless of the current CW speed (can be odd or even). Tks N6TV.

- F11 also wipes the time field if done on the last QSO in the log.

- CQIR contest added.

   For the IRTS 75-year anniversary, make 75 QSO and you enter a
   draw to win a week for two in Kinnitty Casle (flights included).
   For detailled rules, see http://www.irts.ie/CQIR

- SARTG RTTY contest added.

- LOTW contest added.

- SCC Championship RTTY contest added. Requires CTY_LUPROV.DAT file.

- CQWW RTTY : When an US/VE stn is worked, entering his state/province
   is now mandatory. Tnx F6IFY.

- Keyboard mode dialog (Alt-K) revisited. The dlg labels are more
   descriptive than before, and in RTTY you can chain predefined msgs
   with keystrokes, as in CW. The only difference is that in RTTY,
   [Esc] empties the TX buffer, but let the PTT ON, so you can enter
   keystrokes again, unless you close the window (which resets the PTT).

- Spots warning : New option to be warned when spotted on the
   current band/mode only. Tnx I4UFH.

- Radio windows : Markers and segments files can also be set with
   the bandmap display contextual menu.

- Bufix: SWAPing two radios (in SO2R mode) in a mixed mode contest
   might get Mode changes hazardous! In addition, VFO-B programming
   when at least one of the Radio is an Icom gave over. Tks MM0BQI.

- Bugfix: Chaining 1-char long CW messages or using the CW Keyboard
   Mode with WinKey was sometimes causing speed changes (speed was
   actually set to the pot speed). Fixed. Tks DL5AXX.

- Bugfix: RTTY was set using the upper side band for frequencies
   above 10 MHz. Fixed. Tks VE2FWW.

- Bugfix: QTC might be hidden when for portable stations (like N1AA/6).
   Fixed. Tks DJ0ZY.

- Bugfix: Closing QTC session with "+" causes QSO entry problem if
   the serial number is not set. Bug report #123. Fixed. Tks DL1IAO.

- Bugfix: Task #137: "PTT to Wrong Radio after sending something to
   2nd radio". In SO2R, if using Alternate CQ, the TX focus stays on
   "wrong radio" when starting QSO. In addition, the TX focus also
   stays on the secondary radio when one sends something on it. Both
   fixed. Tks OH2UA.

- Bugfix: Task #130: "Broken TRX-Control with TenTec Orion". After
   about 30 min, communication with Orion trx was not working anymore.
   Fixed. Tks DJ0ZY.

- Bugfix : WAEDC contest : In the QTC transmit or receive dialogs,
   the CR and + keys didn't work as expected in SSB mode. Tnx ES5TV.

- Bugfix : WAEDC contest : The ADIF STX field wasn't set. Tnx F5UKL.

- Bugfix : Stats wnd (Ctrl-F9) : Under certain circonstances, the
   displayed graph wasn't correct on this window opening. Tnx DJ0ZY.

- Bugfix : Some mixup in the parity labels and abbreviations of the
   COM properties dialog. It is advisable to check your COM settings,
   especially if some of your interfaces use Even or Odd parities.
   Tnx DG7RO.

- Bugfix : Notes are stored in the local .NOT file even if outbound
   protocol is disabled. Tnx N6TV.

- Bugfix : [Esc] didn't always stop messages keying (CW or RTTY).
   Bug report #132. Tnx DJ0ZY.

- Bugfix : Under certain circonstances, Cabrillo v3 files import
   failed. Tnx F5LEN.
