Hello,

I plan to use TR in Sweepstakes this year, and tested the packet interface in v6.75 yesterday. In certain circumstances, pressing the ` key to spot a station to packet resulted in an incorrect frequency for that spot.

Example:
1. Type 14040 in the entry window. Enter a callsign, and press `
The frequency will correctly show 14040.
2. Escape out of that, and tune the knob on the radio to a different frequency (eg: 14045).
3. Enter a new callsign, and press `


For me, TR v6.75 will attempt to incorrectly spot this new station at the old frequency (14040) instead of the new frequency (14045). Yet, the frequency displayed from rig control on the TR screen correctly states 14.045kHz. If I enter 14045 at the entry window, and press ` again, the packet spot will correctly be on 14045.

Rig control works fine.

Does anyone else notice the same issue with v6.75, or is there some problem with my logcfg.dat configuration?

Here are a few pertinent lines from my logcfg.dat file regarding rig control and packet:
PACKET PORT = SERIAL 2
PACKET BAUD RATE = 4800
EIGHT BIT PACKET PORT = TRUE
RADIO ONE TYPE = TS850
RADIO ONE BAUD RATE = 4800
RADIO ONE CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 1
PACKET AUTO CR = TRUE
PACKET BEEP = FALSE
PACKET SPOT EDIT ENABLE = TRUE
PACKET SPOTS = ALL


Thanks and 73...
