 I've updated the ''mercurial repository'' - added new files, committed recent changes and made a clone of it on the shack laptop - in Dropbox (which might be a bad idea?)

 Make the Watchdog timer user switchable - be able to disable it if required.
-  * Add new DTMF Commands "Timeout on", "Timeout off"
+  * Added new DTMF Commands "Timeout on" = ''* 3 1 #'', "Timeout off" = ''* 3 0 #''
   * Use these to write to the "status" file
   * The watchdog process can check the status file to decide whether to take action or not
+  * Tested and it works as expected

+  * Found that the IC-M710 HF radio has poor receive sensitivity - well below spec. 12dB SINAD should be at 0.5uV but it needs more like 3uV (or more) which is quite poor
+  * X-Gate taken out of use until I can either repair the ''IC-M710'' or make up connections to use the ''IC-7200''. The latter needs a 13-pin DIN plug for the rear panel ACC socket.
