Jim:

Bring up the Band Map.  Right click in the Entry window and bring it up.  Just 
the Band Map only and not Band Map on 2nd VFO

Let us know if the Band Map frequency display changes as you dial the VFO.  In 
other words, does it track the frequency up and down as you dial it.

Yes, typing the frequency in the call entry will change and actually display it 
properly, but it will not change when I tune the VFO...  and I can enter 
another frequency this way and it will change in the WL displayed.   

Joe/K4TV, I do have the radio in VFO mode as indicated by the A on the display.

Can you type in 

7000 in the call entry field, hit enter and the radio frequency changes to 
7000??

If not, the link isn't working
If yes, ....hummm

No sir!  I don't think it is, because I can spin the dial and the frequency 
changes on the radio but not WL.  Actually, it is fully functional with another 
logging program.

Is it possible you have the dial "locked" on the rig itself?  Unlock it, if it 
is.

I had that happen to me before.

I am having some trouble setting up the rig control for a FT-891 using Writelog 
12.59F.

I selected FT-991 from the Rig Type and the enhanced port on my laptop which is 
Com7, baud rate 19200 that matches the radio menu setting, poll checked and 
Comm PTT NO.  

I can enter a frequency in the QSO entry window and it will move the radio to 
that frequency and display the frenquency properly.  But turning the VFO know 
does not have any effect on the displayed frequency.  

Anybody, have any suggestion for this?
