Hi Matthew, I did run into this issue with cwdaemon: after an upgrade its config file was reset and it produced an erratic keying. Changing sound back to 'n' solved the issue and my conclusion was that cwdaemon is meant for either keying or side tone generation, but not for both. Which was just fine for me as I anyway prefer the side tone generated by the rig. So I didn't bother looking into it.
For unixcw you can contact Kamil (unixcw.sourceforge.net) although he doesn't seem to be too active recently. I was able to get some fixes included into the code by providing a PR on sourceforge. But that was several years ago. Is the root cause of the issue clear? Simply reducing buffer size wouldn't hurt too much the performance IMO, so if that really cures the problem then it should be OK. Re tlfmarkers: currenly it contains just the last handful of spots received from the cluster, not what is exactly shown on the band map. I think this is a bug, i.e. the band map evolved into a usable feature whereas tlfmarkers remained using old spot handling. Probably it has not many users, so no-one complained. So this one is a task to be completed. 73, Zoli ha5cqz
