This release

- notifies the user if the Configuration window's "Audio Alarm" tab specifies an invalid SQL filter expression (tnx to Mike NA5U)

- if directed to initiate an outgoing Cluster spot by the user or by another application when the Spot Source designated to convey outgoing spots is not connected, informs the user via an always-on-top window (tnx to Iain N6ML)

- if after directing Commander to QSY, the reported transceiver frequency doesn't change within 1 second, directs Commander to update the reported transceiver frequency (tnx to Eddy ON5JK and Don WA4MSU)
