I don't know if this is a known problem or just some thing about my setup.
This past weekend in CQWW I was using an ICOM IC-725 with rig control via
the ICOM CI-V (CT-17 actually).
The strange thing that I noticed is that some times when I would transmit
the bandmap would move to another frequency. All of my operating was on 20
meters. Of course I was concentrating on what I was saying so I didn't
noticed exactly where the bandmap moved to when I keyed you but I think it
was some times in 6 meters and sometimes in 2 meters which are bands that
the 725 does not have. I'm sure this is just a glitch but was a distraction
and some concern when I was transmitting. It made me want to check my rig
display to make sure I wasn't mistakenly in split for a simplex operation...
Has anybody had this strange experience? If do you know the cause of it? Can
it be fixed? How?
This might be trivial but as I said it was a distraction which I don't think
is a good thing during a contest.
Other then that I love WriteLog and had no other problems!!!
