Another clue:
When a spot requires a change in mode eg.) CW to SSB a click or double
click many times changes the mode of the radio but not the band and
frequency. It is also to be noted that many times when changing
within a band, the band map moves to the spotted and clicked frequency
but then immediately goes back to the current frequency until you
click many times.
Tnx
