This release

- makes the following changes for Kenwood and Elecraft transceivers (tnx to Tom W2EQ and Joe W4TV) 

*** doesn't automatically enable continuous interrogation when the transceiver model is selected

*** with continuous interrogation disabled, updates the Main window VFO with frequencies returned FA and FB CAT commands from Kenwood and Elecraft transceivers

*** when a transceiver is selected with continuous integration disabled, sends an AI2; command to Elecraft, Kenwood TS570, TS2000, and TS480 transceivers or an AI1; command to other Kenwood transceivers on startup

*** when continuous integration is enabled, sends an AI0; command to Elecraft and Kenwood transceivers

*** when continuous integration is disabled, sends an AI2; command to Elecraft, Kenwood TS570, TS2000, and TS480 transceivers or an AI1; command to other Kenwood transceivers on startup

- correctly decodes FT1000D RTTY vs RTTY-R status (tnx to Wolf DK1FW and Joe W4TV) 

- terminates correctly if Commander can't open the Radios.txt file (tnx to Jamie W2QO)

- accepts CW transmission directives from WinWarbler when controlling a Kenwood TS-870S, TS-570S, or TS-570G transceiver (tnx to Gil W0MN and Mike K9UW)

- reduces the rate at which the CW buffer status of a Kenwood, Elecraft, or Flex transceiver is checked after reporting its CW buffer to be full (tnx to Joe W4TV)

- accepts a command from other applications to clear the outgoing CW queue (tnx to Joe W4TV)

- allows the Radio Model selector to be set to K3 (tnx to Greg AB7R) 


Commander 6.8.5 is available via the DXLab Launcher and via http://www.dxlabsuite.com/download.htm .


The next version of WinWarbler will direct Commander to clear its outgoing CW queue if you click its "CW Transmit" panel's Abort button with CW Keying configured for "Xcvr Ctrl SW". For the current set of transceivers that support text-to-CW, this will only stop the transmission of CW characters sent to COmmander but not yet sent to the transceiver.
