A few notes about this update

There are a couple forms changes, and a new form, so check those out. The included QuickStart PDF files are all updated as well. You'll notice that the Auto-TX feature is new in Expect, and that the Expect subsystem has been modified. I hope it is now easier to understand and use. Also, the maps now have a basic zoom-in, and easier-to-see borders. As always, send me your ideas and feedback, or support requests, via my info on qrz.

I've also created a new training video. Both the new and old videos are available on my youtube channel (linked on the software page below).
