John,
it cannot be working correctly. I must continually watch
what the band and mode info is before I hit the enter key
to log the qso. I have had many band and mode errors in
my logbook due to this and I should not have to watch
it. No John, there is a bug in the program.
Thanks for the reply there OB.
