Greetings all,

After upgrading to f/w v1.94 and reading several comments on the list about 
auto-zerobeat, I've deliberately used the feature on several CW nets with 
all kinds of signals.  My overall impression is that it works just fine, but 
it seems as if the time it uses to zerobeat has been reduced, so that while 
adjusting a CW signal the function may stop during the space between 
elements, even if it hasn't quite finished tuning.  Several times when I 
tapped SPOT to zerobeat a CW signal, the tuning stopped short of zerobeat, 
and required one or two more taps to get right on.  OTOH, this does not 
happen when centering a steady carrier.  It just feels like the function 
should listen and try a little longer during a space before deciding that 
the signal is gone, or zerobeat has been achieved.

Just my $.02 worth....

Van, W1WCG
