QSO numbering was strange when you had more than one
page.

up some of the Icom controls.

merging the default record information.

stay open.

frequency field at times that I was unaware of when
transferring.

identified it would crash when posting to the award
index.

Operations program and you came back from a pop-up
window, the data under the cursor was not correct.

moved so it doesn't cover up the default entries.

the bottom of the initial display in the IOTA window.

on the Master Log screen.
