Doesn't happen with my PRO III. And as I recall, I've never seen it happen
with my Kenwood TS-870 either but I'll check it later.
It's not on line right now but I've used TS-870's for several years. Seems
like I've seen this thread before though. But the
solution isn't coming to me.

Subject: [WriteLog] Bug(s) in computer control?
Field testing the new Elecraft K3 with Writelog 10.63H we have encountered an
anomaly that looks very much like a problem with
Writelog and may manifest itself with other radios as well:
Type a frequency into the callsign field and hit Enter. If the frequency is
within the same band, Writelog seems to append "001" to
the set frequency command. Thus, if you are on 14020.04 and you type in 14040,
Writelog sends 14040001. This sends the rig to
14040.001 (and puts it into 1-Hz tuning resolution). If you type in 7040, the
rig goes correctly to 7040.00. The K3 command
protocol, like the K2, is a superset of the Kenwood protocol and this problem
occurs with Writelog set to either K2 or Kenwood. In
addition to the funny error of adding one Hertz, it is surprising that Writelog
sends 1-Hz resolution at all since it only accepts
frequency entry to 1-KHz resolution.
Does anyone see this behavior with other radios? Ron and Wayne, are you
interested in fixing it?
