Ian, I fixed the problems related to PTT and the program not releasing the serial port in some cases. You can download the updated program from my web site: http://mysite.verizon.net/ks7d/
I am working on the Configauto problem reported by Joe and improved user help. I hope to have another update posted by tonight. Thank you to everyone who has reported problems to me.
