George:
I am certain Wayne is aware of it now.
I write this after CQP--I took my computer with me to Monterey County. It
was only a minor inconvenience to select modes after changes, but I did run
into another problem related to my manipulation of the BAND info.
After the discussion of the mode/change problem, rather than restore the
original BAND info, I had typed in a shorter version, with each line
containing an entire band and specifiying both CW and the appropriate SSB
mode, only. It appeared to work, but during the contest I quickly realized
that ALL of my QSO's--on 10/15/20--were entered in the 40m line of the Band
Summary window. At first, running, I thought it would only affect my
apparent score, and kept going. But when I went S&P, I quickly learned that
it meant false DUPE notification for every second QSO with a given station.
I had to stop operating, open a new version of the log to restore the
default BAND settings, paste the log contents into the log, re-do the CW/SSB
messages and exchange setups, and recalculate score. Thankfully, everything
then worked OK.
I guess I have plenty left to learn about BAND settings....:-(. And I guess
there is no such thing as too much testing.
BTW, thanks for the Q's and the mult--I do believe you were the only Utah
station in the log.
Garry, NI6T

That's the point, George--WL does not do that in this mixed-mode
contest. I
tried subbands with and without overlap or intersection. e.g. 3500-3750
CW,
3750-4000 LSB. I could go from 3505 to 3795 OK--and it would change from
CW
to LSB--but I could not go the other way, on any band, or between bands.
Garry,
Well, I see what you mean. I just tried it on both 15 and 20 meters. If
I enter 14300 on the log line, the radio will switch from cw to ssb on
14300. If I then enter 14025 on the log line the radio switches to ssb on
14025 [and fails to switch back to cw]. Wow. I never noticed this before.
[My radio is the Ic 756Pro2]
I also tested this with my daily WL log file, which uses the DXPEDITION
MODE contest module. I get the same results, which tells me that the
problem is not associated with the CQP contest module.
I wonder if this has been reported to Wayne as a bug...or if it has been
discussed on this WL reflector?
73, Geo...
