Better initial updates of all settings when the software does the initial query for all the settings
Added better support for transmitter with Beta Firmware (<1.0)
The configuration software seemed to getting stuck sometimes and the GPS time did not update.
The change tries to address this condition that happens sometimes for unknown reason,
Changed ComPort synch method from smThreadSynch to smNone
Numerous bug fixes. This is the first Release Version 1.00.
Support for Type 3 messages that will increase precision by transmitting six letter Maidenhead location
1 Added GPS Lock indicator
2 Also improved the general han.dling of incoming Serial Data.
Sometimes it doesn't display the incoming data until one closes and re-opens the serial port. This situation is much improved in this version.
Some users have reported the software is not displaying correctly or is using high amounts of memory or CPU after it has been running for many hours. It might even crash after 24 hours. So this latest change tries to adress that problem.
A new visual toot to view the GPS satellites over the horizon has been added.
Support for the Altitude coding in the power field has been added, requires firmware 0.81 in the transmitter.
Fixed bug when entering TX Pause values. Sometimes it gave error messages when saving or leaving the field.
Also fixed COM port error bug that gave error message if the device was unplugged without closing the serial port. The program could then not be closed. The software now closes properly in these cases.

0.76 Added Support for WSPR-TX Pico, GPS position updates in idle and signal gen mode, status LED now fast blink during WSPR Beacon TX instead of steady lit
The Pico will always boot in to WSPR Beacon regardless of Boot configuration, this is a failsafe.
Moved check if Call Sign is set from SendWSPRBlock() to DoWSPR()
0.77 Changed around the orders of hardware check in Setup()
0.78 The WSPR Beacon will now stay in Beacon mode even if the user changed something in the PC GUI like changed bands, click Save button etc
0.79 Support the new Desktop V1R10 with new improved LP filters. Fixed TX Pause limit of 32000, it can now go to 99999 seconds (27.7 Hours)

Fixed bug that gave error messages when editing TX Pause values.
Fixed Serial port bug when device is unplugged without first closing down teh serial port. The application now terminates when thsi happen instead of displaying an error message,

The Power setting table has been fixed.
Before the fix the power table was 0,3,6,10,13,16,20,23,26,30,33,36,40,43,46,50,53,56,60 witch is incorrect.
It is now fixed and set to 0,3,7,10,13,17,20,23,27,30,33,37,40,43,47,50,53,57,60.
Thank you goes out to Hayden VK7HH and Gary W2GNN for reporting the error.

There is now a debug option that enables a user to send and receive raw API data . Useful when debugging new options or to manually set stuff. E.g to force the transmitter to temporary use Low pass filter B - send the command "[CSL] S B".
I also fixed a long standing problem where the Arduino had a different view on what bands ere enabled compared to the PC.
This led teh user to belive a certain band was enabled for TX when it was not. The PC Software now queries the Arduino for GUI updates after each band option is ticked. This slows down the GUI when clicking to enable or disable a certain band in the WSPR beacon but I think it is not to bad.
0.62 Added functionality to automatically use one of the Low Pass filter in WSPR and SignalGen routines (New rutines - PickLP,SetLPFilter)
0.63 Changed Software Version and Revision to constants that can be read by the Serial API [FSV] and [FSR]
0.64 Added function BandNumOfHigestLP to find the bandnumber of higest fitted LP filter, expanded on the PickLP filter routine
