Big Score Tree!  Congrats.

I had a the same problem with two radios,  Radio 1 IC781 would go to 
nonssb, nonfm, nonam, etc when radio 2 FT1000 would always track to be 
CW on all bands.  

When on radio 1 I had to use the Alt-B to TR-Log to show the other band 
and to let me put it manually into CW mode.  It seemed to Log correctly
but was a pain.  I ended up not using it.  Im still new with TR so I 
accept - cockpit error as a valid responce but we neophiles need more 
help with the setup process.

George, thanks for the sample logcfg.dat file you posed before the test 
but it just didn't go far enouph.  I did all those things and still had 
this problem.  I tried changing all kinds of things in the Alt-J menu 
while consulting the manual for probable candidates of error.

Also I noticed while in S$P mode the send EXCH F3 function would send 
the morse for "\" (or is it /) instead of my call letters.  I finaly 
just typed my call in to fix it.  

Just goes to show I need lots of practice, but I still am sold on the 
program and the service that you provide to support it.
