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 ------------------------------------------ Dr. Jerry R.
