[Dx4win] Re: Troubles with Radio Control

[Michael McCarty]

Mel suggested that I turn off the CI-V Transciever setting on the Icom 
746.  This made no difference, in fact in may ways it got worse.  DX4Win 
kept turning off split and my narrow filter settings.  I'm still seeing the 
radio timeout dialog as well as the Access violation dialog.  I was however 
manage to type a string into the Scanner Dialog description, so this was an 
improvement.
