[ct-user] Talk Window (Alt-G) Station ID?

I'm trying to configure CT for a CQWW Multi-2 operation.
Everything in the network seems to be working OK with
the small exception of the Talk/Gab Window station ID.
QSO's are properly logged to/from both stations, and
I can use Alt-G to communicate to other computers on
the network. However, it's hard to tell what message
is coming from which station.
Even with no radio interfaced, the Alt-I window shows
Station one as "10" and station two as "15" regardless
of the current band at that station. As a result, it's
not possible to know what band/station a message is coming
from. I am using Alt-F1 and Alt-F2 to change bands at
each station manually, with no radio interfaced. Here is
a sample from the TLK file:
Oct 6 20:04:41 2003 10->All this stn on 160
Oct 6 20:04:49 2003 10->All this stn on 80
Oct 6 20:05:00 2003 10->All this stn on 40
Oct 6 20:05:07 2003 10->All this stn on 20
Oct 6 20:05:21 2003 10->All this stn on 15
Oct 6 20:05:32 2003 10->All this stn on 10
Oct 6 20:05:54 2003 15->All stn 2 on 160
Oct 6 20:06:05 2003 15->All stn 2 on 80
Oct 6 20:06:12 2003 15->All stn 2 on 40
Oct 6 20:06:20 2003 15->All stn 2 on 20
Oct 6 20:06:29 2003 15->All stn 2 on 15
Oct 6 20:06:34 2003 15->All stn 2 on 10
The manual says on page 72 "Messages in the network Talk Window
are prefixed by the station number of the orignator." This does
not seem to be happening. It appears as if it is trying to prefix
the message with a band indicator instead, but it's stuck on 10
or 15, regardless of current logging band. Both stations are
configured for M2, using the serial null modem cable network.
All logging functions appear to be working properly.
I am new to CT and may be missing something obvious. I have
searched the manual and the reflector archives for a solution
without success. I am using version 990007 and just now saw that
991001 is available. Will that update possibly take care of it,
or am I missing something in the setup configuration?
Thanks for any suggestions,
