Hi Bob
Thanks for the tips.
No, I was not using cut numbers (except for leading zeros up to 100).  My F2 is
programmed almost that way, actually +599-$SERIAL . What I really am looking for is the
Farnsworth spacing. I am using a Sony VAIO (no LPT) connected to a microham MKII via USB
2.0.
As forr the + delay, maybeit is caused by disk activity. Does win-key saves the data
after every QSO?
