Ed,

It does appear the Alt-F4 feature is broken, at least with regards to returning to your original frequency. Unfortunately, I won't be able to fix this before the weekend.

As a workaround, I would suggest pressing the "A=B" key before pulling the spot, then you can use the "A<>B" swap key to return to your original frequency.

Have never used this feature, (not being a packet guy) but thought I might
try it for SS this weekend.

After reading the manual and talking to a buddy, I'm ok with everything
except I can't seem to make Alt-F4 work to take me back to my previous
freq.

I see in the REV notes that in 10.52 that problem was fixed, but my 10.49
and 10.59 act exactly alike......neither version takes me back.

In summary, I select "Fixed position band map" from the Program Options
Control Panel. Do the Ctl-F6 to open bandmap window, enter a call in the
call field, do CTL-enter and then enter and the calll is added to the
bandmap; I add a few more at variious freqs, then do the Ctl -->, highlight
one of the calls and hit enter and the raido goes to that frequency, but
Alt-F4 will not take me back to the previous freq, no matter if I do it
(ALt-F4) after simulating a complete QSO, or right away or after clearing
the field with F11 and maybe a few other iterations I may have tried.

Am i missing something simple? Or maybe something not so simple? Or are
their still problems?

I know I can use the "A+B" vfo button on the rig to accomplish pretty much
the same thing but I would like to keep my fingers around the keyboard as
much as possible.

Thanks for any input
