For any of you who got a new PicoKeyer chip at the last meeting...  
have you had a chance to play with it yet?  Any feedback on the new 
command mode and features?

Since then I have made a couple of minor changes.  First, the /P 
message pause command will now WAIT for you to send something from the 
paddles, then automatically resume when you stop sending.  This prevents 
the message from getting canceled if you happen to wait a bit before 
sending from the paddles.

Second, I changed the /S message command.  You can still use /SU and 
/SD to change the speed by 1 WPM relative to the current speed.  BUT...  
you can also now set a specific speed with /S followed by a one- or 
two-digit number, like /S30 or /S5 or even /S0 (to resume normal speed 
sending).

I'm interested in any feedback, positive or negative.  Especially 
negative, actually.  If something stinks, tell me before I unleash it on 
the unsuspecting world.  :)

Thanks & 73,
