This software is broken. I quit.

This stupid behavior of filling the serial number field from a previous 
contact is dangerous. I have failed to log about 10% of the contacts the 
first time because the serial number is in the call field and have to go 
back to reenter the qso data.  I started to delete the old serial number 
and then I could enter a new one. That worked as long as I noticed it.

But just now I had a qso with AA5AU and Don gave me a 350, which of course 
went into the CALL field not the serial field and the rig promptly changed 
from 40m down to 80m as it does when you type a frequency into the call 
field. Sorry Don I did come back to you but I was now on 80m with all the 
red fault lights on my Alpha 87A flashing because it did not like a 40m 
beam for an 80m antenna. At least the linear is smart enough to protect itself.

Not a good day.

Hope you all are having better luck than I

Jerry, W6IHG
