Alpha 3.23.09.13

   Thor dnd image
     * Add Dnd Image to TX panel
       - allows operator to insert image processing into TX text stream
       - drag image from system file viewer and drop on to TX text panel

   IFKP dnd image
     * Add Dnd Image to TX panel
       - allows operator to insert image processing into TX text stream
       - drag image from system file viewer and drop on to TX text panel

   MFSK DnD Image
     * Add Dnd Image to TX panel
       - allows operator to insert image processing into TX text stream
       - drag image from system file viewer and drop on to TX text panel

   Documentation
     * Correct 'M>' to 'Store' in description of the Store button
     * Amend help file for the frequencies list usage

   Frequencies2 use string
     * added use descriptor string to frequencies2 list

   About
     * update developer list

   View noise
     * send signal / noise composite audio to waterfall during transmit
       - valid when using --noise command line parameter

   Sanitize tile_x, tile_y startup values
     * Fixes: LP: #1478358
       - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fldigi/+bug/1478358
         "fldigi 3.22.13 crashes on start-up when tile_x is large"
       - also applies to 3.23.xx branch
       - this fix prevents a user from editing the fldigi.prefs file
         with out of range values.

   NAVTEX update
     * change the distance between early, prompt, and late accumulators to
       be an integer number of samples.
     * noise and QSB processing
       - average the accumulator values over a longer time period
       - tighten bit tracking feedback loop
         .signal lock takes a little longer
     * make the AFC window a little wider to deal with some signals.
     * instead of requiring 5 consecutive correct characters
       to start decoding, store a stream of bit confidence values and
       require 9 good ones out of 14 total. FEC can take care of the rest.
     * add FEC calculations to do single bit permutations on
       bad characters, flipping the bit with the lowest confidence value.
     * code cleanup - remove unused variables.

   RxID enhancement
     * Add right click pop-up menu
       - PASSBAND - check box ON/OFF
     * Color code ON illumination for
       PASSBAND ON/OFF

   TX timer
     * Added TX timer display to the menu bar

   rigcat mod
     * Add min, max settings for pwr control
     * Add testing mode if no xcvr serial port available
     * Made opMODE and opBW combo controls readonly
       - pull down values can only be added and not inserted
     * Added debugging tags to xml definitions:
       - <NOSERIAL>true/false</NOSERIAL> - default false
         suppress all serial port i/o
       - <ASCII>true/false</ASCII> - default false
         if true, print all CAT i/o events as ASCII strings
         if false, print all CAT i/o events as HEX sequences
     * Added polling for pwr level query

   PSK IMD
     * add IMD generator
     * modified IMD computation for continuous operation vice only 
during DCD
