That appears to work.  (It's a little difficult keeping track when 
trying with one computer and 2 radios.)

I like the new feature of 'rolling over' the station and seeing the 
status and port.  I don't remember seeing that before, and it is one 
item I asked about previously (ability to see which port).

I think I saw an issue opening a com port.  It was the second port in 
the list;  first was com 6, second is com 2.  I'm hoping it's just me 
today.

In the file page, where I connect, if I try to connect to a station 
from the list using the wrong port (not current for that station) it 
fails to connect.
I know I'm pushing the limits trying one computer and two radios, so I 
hope some is just me.  I don't have another station to test with at 
the moment.
