Cancel automatic message sending with a key tap, without transmitting that key tap
Now when tuning, decoded CW display is not temporarily blanked
Menus changed from two options, to ON/OFF, to save codespace: 3.7 CW-R, 4.6 Semi QSK, 7.5 Cursor Blink

Bug fix: On manually setting realtime clock, the display was updated showing frequency - causing confusion

Bug fix: In Split VFO mode when Clock and CW decoder enabled, left character of real time clock was deleted temporarily
Bug fix: Decoded CW could be written to wrong parts of the display under some circumstances
