Radio crashed again

Some notes during the Salmon Run QSO Party.... No crashes at all until Sunday. I went and started a run on 10M and during a CQ the SSDR crashed while still in transmit (radio LED was RED). Had to shut everything down, pull the power, wait a minute and restart everything. Got back on and it happened again. I repeated the shutdown process again and then got back on till the end of the contest. By the time I got back on the opening had closed. Still something funny about the side tone in CW. First, the side tone really really needs a dedicated level control like any other radio. To compensate I turn the headphones audio down and the slice audio up. Doing this however seems to distort the side tone. With the break in set for around 300ms I am still hearing some kind of artifacts between elements. This made for very tiresome listening for an extended period of time. I was using N1MM for the contest. When I swapped VFOs the slices would swap on the two panadapters I had opened but the panadapters stayed tuned to where they were...therefore the two slices for A and B were off to the side. Double clicking on them to bring them to focus did nothing. I had to close the second panadapter. If this behavior does not change this will never be a good radio for contesting. A suggestion would be to have a contest mode. This way there can be two panadapters open one for slice A and one for slice B. VFO swaps done by external software should swap the slices AND the tuning of the panadapters. Any other panadapters open would be left up to the operator. 73 Greg AB7R
