Ric,
I was using DX4WIN v.5.02 and a 756PRO this weekend for the CQWW contest.
I only made about 400 contacts and noticed the same thing. I noticed the
mode change to SSB and then jump back. Also I noticed the band occasionally
jump to 70cm and then back. No contacts were logged incorrectly. I was
running the CW decoder in WriteLog 10.21K only and used DX4WIN v.5.02 for
logging. NO packet connections at all were made!!!!! Therefore it can NOT
be a packet problem only. Also never before when running DX4WIN only have
I seen this behavior.
