If rig control is disabled or interrupted a warning message ? now replaces the frequency display. Previously, the display ? was simply cleared and it was not always obvious that rig ? control had been lost. ? The warning message is replaced by the rig's frequency when ? rig control is restored. ? Added safeguards to ensure SD always logs on the band ? matching the rig's frequency, subject to permitted bands ? for the contest. This applies to both continuously-working ? rig-control and to restoration of rig-control following an ? interruption, regardless of any change in band in SD or on ? the rig while rig control was interrupted. ? To enable or re-enable rig control manually, use the PORTS ? command. To disable rig control, set its port number to zero ? (again with the PORTS command). HA DX Contest - both sides: ? Updated for current rules.
