> one who enjoys SO2R, this caused a MAJOR slow-down. I disabled my
> shortcut keys, re-wrote my macros, and checked my ptt key lines, but
> couldn't figure out what caused the problem. Only about 300 Q's in the
> first 16 hours - sad. I finally had enough and crashed for the night.
> On Sunday, I exported my log from N1MM+, then imported it into N1MM

> About 5 hours Sunday afternoon and another 300 Q's and I'm feeling much

> I'm sure I will like it even more than classic.
