* Phantom problem where the spacebar would no longer move from field to
field, apparently caused during two-radio operation. To avoid this,
Alt-D (Check Alternate Call) is only enabled when cursor is in callsign
field. Also, Alt-D now starts with a blank call at each invocation.
* With multiple linked computers, an incoming QSO would overwrite the
MULTIPLIER SCREEN. Also, when a QSO was edited on a remote machine,
the current editing field on the local machine would be temporarily
hidden.
* In SHOW QSOS WITH window, QSOs with longer calls should show up on lists
for shorter calls (i.e., K6BZS would show on a list for K6BZ).
* Edit Log File Comments (which few people seemed to use) removed to make
room for movable screen windows in a future version

not always what is scored as a mult. See UPDATE.DOC for further info.
* Non-mult DX was not allowed in CA QSO Party for in-state QSOs. New
CALQSO1.CRT template released.
* PA QSO Party points rule added. Template Editor version 1.07 released
to allow this points selection. Also, new PAQP templates released
(both in and out state).
* With two radios, adding Alt to Return or Minus keys allows setting main
or alternate VFO on the non-main radio.
* Band Map can be set to either moving frequency or fixed frequency with
new option on the PROGRAM OPTIONS CONTROL PANEL (default is moving).
Rev 10.23
* Setting alternate VFO was broken in 10.22 on ICOMs running 1200 baud
as result of adding "A=B" command to action.
* With two radios, setting the main VFO (Return, Alt-Return) would not
set the correct radio if Radio #2 was master.
* Fixed crash of "radio-centered" band map.
* Check partial would not update when deleting a character.
* Ten minute band timer would reset on remote QSO coming in over network.
* Radio polling interval for FT-920 was 15 seconds, should be 3 seconds.

and alternate radio Check Partial was always checking the band of radio
#2. Program now correctly reflects the band(s) of the active radio
configuration.
* When starting NA with a new file name on the command line, program would
ignore the file name and open the directory list rather than going
immediately to the information sheet.
* When setting the alternate VFO frequency, data is now checked for valid-
ity to prevent a program crash.
* A remotely logged QSO coming in from the network would cause erroneous
rate calculations - Last10 would be zero and Mins/Mult would sometimes
go negative.
* Kenwood choices in NA and CONFIG.EXE version 1.07 have been revised to
KENWOOD1 or KENWOOD2, the number specifying the number of stop bits
(see UPDATE.DOC for details).
Rev 10.27
* QSO NUMBER BY BAND has been added to the OPTIONS menu. When this option
is enabled, serialized QSO numbers are kept by band rather than overall.

receive tones. Problem has been fixed, but the Alt-0 key (reverse
received tones) has been removed until the cause of the problem can be
found.
* Operation of RITTY receive autotune hot-key (Alt-7) revised. Key now
inhibits/uninhibits rx autotune with each keypress. The text command
RITTY now pops a window to set the rx autotune speed. See UPDATE.DOC

on the second radio then wiping the QSO line returns the program to the
first radio but not the SO2R interface - fixed.
* Support for IC-756Pro, FT-100 and FT-847 radios added.
* Existing log files using the "rst/rst/loc/nr" format would not load
correctly - fixed.
* Added FREQUENCY WINDOW BY BAND as a selection on the PROGRAM OPTIONS
CONTROL PANEL which changes the FREQUENCY WINDOW to show the current
frequency by band rather than by transmitter.
* Added "Sat" as an additional band for FD. (Note: RADIO COMPUTER CONTROL
MUST BE DISABLED while on the "Sat" band since satellite operations
typically occur between pairs of several possible frequency bands.)
Rev 10.58
* Added points scoring rules and template file for the CQ VHF Contest.
* Fixed timing problem which effected CQ repeat and radio polling times
when Yaesu radios were controlled via RS-232. This also fixes bug
which could cause the program to crash when a controlled Yaesu radio
was turned off.
* Program would not read mode correctly from FT-100 radio - fixed accord-
ing to Yaesu documentation.
* When doing mixed-mode SO2R, the default RST was not updated when working
a QSO on the alternate radio - fixed.
* Corrected truncating of comments field in NA Logger w/Countries format.
* The "multiplier name search" feature which functions when the MULTIPLIER
ABBREVIATION LIST (Alt-L) window is displayed also now functions when
the WANTED MULT LIST (Alt-W) window is displayed.
* Added features to manipulate the sent QSO nr: CTRL-Q opens a window to
allow the sent nr to be edited; SHOW SENT QSO NUMBERS in the PROGRAM
OPTIONS CONTROL PANEL selects between showing (default) the QSO's
sequence in the file, or the actual QSO number; and both the Cabrillo
and printer output files now show the sent QSO number from the file
instead of simply the sequence.
* NAU version 1.34 released with enhanced .QDF VIEW utility showing the
sent QSO number in the QSO record.
* The SO2R BREAKDOWN SHEET would only print if a "RADIO A/B" port was
selected, now will print as long as the "Two Radios" selection is
checked in the EQUIPMENT CONTROL PANEL.
* Fixed line total and running total fields in the SO2R BREAKDOWN SHEET.
Rev 10.59
* Added capability to limit logging of QSOs from only certain computers
in the network.
* Added selection in the OPTIONS CONTROL PANEL to enable/disable automatic
searching of multiplier names in the WANTED MULTS (Alt-W) or MULTIPLIER
ABBREVIATIONS (Alt-L) windows.
* Fixed bug where all W/VE stations would show as Announce Windows mults
in contests where mults are by mode and W & VE are not countries
(ex: ARRL 10M).
* CW messages can now contain the "!" character which represents your
location as set on the Log File Information screen.
* Added display of bandchanges in the current hour, activated by Alt-U
(same as Band Timer display) for the M/S and M/2 categories. A new
1.16 version of TE.EXE allows setting "Max Band Changes" in the Contest
Rules Templates, and templates were updated to set the parameter in
contests with this rule.
* Improved filtering of spots by mode, particularly out-of-band DX spots
on 80/40.
* Updated CQ 160M Contest template for reflect new contest starting time
and duration.
* Added new category F (Emergency Operations Centers) for ARRL Field Day.
* Added IC-746Pro transceiver choice to NA and RADIOS.LST.
* Added list of default ICOM transceiver IDs in ICOMS.TXT to allow users
of new ICOM radios to select a compatible choice until incorporation
into the next version of NA (see UPDATE52.DOC).
Rev 10.61
* On FD, program would crash when trying to edit a three digit defaulted
section.
* In contests with zones (ex: CQWW, IARU), when the zone is defaulted the
cursor is placed at the start of the field (rather than the end) in
case the zone must be typed over.
* In IARU, if a new HQ mult was entered before the callsign, the default
ITU zone would overwrite the new HQ mult.
* Fixed problems with Announce Window and spot filtering for mixed mode
in the ARRL 10M contest.
* With two radios, one on CW and the other on SSB, CQ Repeat would not
work if the CW radio was #2.
* Corrected problems with formatting breakdown sheet in contests like ARRL
10 meters which are multi-mode contests with single-mode sub-categories.
* Modified Contest Rule Templates to suppress mode-category in Cabrillo
header CATEGORY line for all but IARU and 10M contests (not really a bug,
but a rather narrow interpretation of the Cabrillo spec by the author of
the ARRL e-log robot).
* Implemented change to VHF frequency fields in Cabrillo files to support
specification change. (Again, not really a bug, but an unannounced
change to the Cabrillo spec and ARRL e-log robot affecting VHF entries
only.)
* Automatic CQ Repeat for SSB contests is fixed.
* Paddle action on CW now disarms CQ repeat.
* QSOs/Continent breakdown will now print for non-contest files; ex: NA
Logger w/Countries.
* Added new selections for the SO2R port configuration. "LPTx Std" uses
the same Radio1/Radio2 control bit as the "other" programs while still
supporting the mono/stereo control which they don't (see UPDATE52.DOC
for details and instructions for use with the TopTen DXDoubler).
* If the CONFIRM EDITED CALLSIGN AFTER EXCHANGE feature is turned on, a
new option CONFIRM WITH PARTIAL CALLSIGN will send only the partial of
the callsign needing to be corrected. See UPDATE52.DOC for the rules
for the partial which is sent. Both of these features now appear on the
SENDING CONTROL PANEL.
* Band map controls (Band Map From Alternate Radio, Fixed Position Band
Map) have been moved to the BAND MAP CONTROL PANEL (type BANDMAP in the
Callsign Field of the Logging Window).
* Revised the Logging Window when SO2R to provide a second QSO line to
enter QSOs from the alternate radio. See UPDATE52.DOC for details.
The Help File also has a new section "Two-Radio Operation" which
describes the commands.
* The STAY ON ALTERNATE RADIO AFTER QSO control has been moved to the
PROGRAM OPTIONS CONTROL PANEL.
* The file extension for ADIF files changed from .ADF to .ADI.
* Added Default Equipment screen to CONFIG.EXE to allow selecting
equipment to be defaulted ON when creating a new file.
* NAU version 1.37 has Similar Call Check removed and a new feature
CREATE/UPDATE LoTW .QDFs to allow loading QSL data into NA.
Rev 10.62
* Printing of Multi-Op logs by band would miss non-CW QSOs.
* The SO2R "move keyboard focus" key (backslash) should be disabled when
SO2R is not enabled.
* Bottom line totals were not summed correctly in .BRK files.
* NAU version 1.38 fixed a file path problem for merging .QDF files.
* NAU version 1.39 added a COM Port Identification utility and removed
conversions for CT .RES files.
* NAQSL version 4.00 deletes reading CT .RES files, adds a new multiple
file mode to search multiple .QDF files in the same directory, and a
function to write tagged QSL records to an ADIF (.ADI) file.
* Frequency offset capability for each radio has been added to support
VHF/UHF transverters. CONFIG.EXE 1.15 is needed to allow setting these
offsets - see UPDATE52.DOC for details.
Rev 10.63
* When using SO2R, data on the alternate QSO line would disappear if a QSO
was logged on the main QSO line first.
* On certain computers, NA will lock up if a warning beep occurs while the
internal keyer is sending - fixed.
* Added support for IC-703, FT-817 and FT-857 radios. RADIOS.LST file
updated to support new radios.
Rev 10.64
* Control characters in frequency commands sent to FT-817 & FT-857 were
reversed - fixed (tnx AK0M).
* Tenths of KHz were cut off when grabbing a packet spot or setting the
alternate VFO frequency. Broke in 10.62 when adding transverter offset
feature, now fixed.
* Initial support added for FT-2000 and FTDX-9000 radios.
Rev 10.65
* Revised SPOT CONTROL panel to add selection to send spot to either the
main or alternate/sub VFO, and to allow disabling word wrap in the
Packet Receive window (for nodes which send loooong spot strings).
* Added year and contest mode to .BRK, .DUP, and .MUL reports to improve
identification (tnx N4KG).
* CONFIRM EDITED CALL AFTER EXCHANGE would unnecessarily confirm callsigns
containing a "/" - fixed (tnx WD4AHZ and K8MP).
* SO2R cursor positioning inconsistent when switching between MAIN and
ALTERNATE radio log entry lines - fixed (tnx K9TM).
* SO2R would not automatically return to the main radio after logging an
SSB QSO on the alternate radio, but worked fine on SSB - fixed (tnx W8MJ)
Rev 10.66
* Added "period" key to allow returning SO2R transmit focus from alternate
radio to main radio.
* Set alternate VFO function (minus key) would crash program due to
inadvertent typo in code - fixed.
Rev 10.67
* When using SO2R, the default RST on the alternate radio would always be
599 regardless of the mode - fixed (tnx W8MJ).
* Callsigns with non-standard portables needed to be matched on the full
callsign to correctly identify the country (example: 9M6/N1UR = Spratly,
not East Malaysia) - fixed (tnx K8MP).
* Added option to send QSO numbers by band-mode, in addition to the current
option to send QSO numbers by band.
* Reallocated two characters from the end of the "Address2" field on the
Information Sheet to the "Club" field accommodate the name "Society Of
Midwest Contesters" per K9MMS's request.
Rev 10.68
* Corrected RS-232 command protocol error with setting radio frequency
for FT817/857 - (tnx to AK0M for his detective work on this).
* CW sending would not work correctly in mixed mode with RTTY enabled -
(tnx K9TM)
* Band selection window would not allow de-selecting unused bands.
* In contests with list+DX multipliers, the Alt-M multiplier window would
not show the DX mults.
* In CQWW, when checking zone-QSOs with F10, QSOs would be shown with the
country of the zone multiplier instead.
* In CQWW, the QSOs Per Multiplier breakdown for zones were inaccurate
(tnx N4XM).
* Fixed crash with the Bandchanges Per Hour breakdown and made the
breakdown always appear along with the QSOs Per Hour breakdown (used
to only appear in contests with limits on multi-op bandchanges).
* Added report in .BRK file for the number of CQs called and the number
of times stations were called during the contest.
* Added capability to set the non-active VFO with the minus key on Yaesu
FT817/857 radios.
Rev 10.69
* Updated Cabrillo file formatting to revision 3.0, and changed the Log
File Information screen to more accurately support the Cabrillo descr-
iptions for entry categories.
* Revised CQ 160 Contest to default received exchange for DX QSOs to their
CQ zone to support new rules for 2009.
