[EIDXA] pileup simulator

[Joe Hetrick]

Yea, there are a couple other annoyances, though, maybe some of the more well traveled can confirm this (I don't seem to hear this in pileups as much as it occurs in the software)

Deaf stations who you call, but, continue to send their own call.  It's enough to make the lack of tuning without a mouse very annoying.  I can work maybe 5 stations, then, have 4 or 5 in a row that
endlessly call, despite me calling them.  I know it happens in real life, but, it doesn't seem to me that I hear it that often.  You then have to give up and change freq *mouse click*..

I see he notes that in the manual.  Man, being able to tune the receiver with L/R arrow keys would be really nice though.
