[TRLog] V5.99 Lockup

[Jay Pryor]

Tree, et.al.,

This is how my LOGCFG.DAT file was set up:

MY CALL = K4OGG
CONTEST = ARRL DX

DISPLAY MODE = COLOR

RADIO ONE TYPE = FT890
RADIO ONE CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 4WARC BAND ENABLE = FALSE
MY GRID = EM73UW
SCP MINIMUM LETTERS = 3
BIG REMAINING LIST = TRUE

How the WARC BAND ENABLE = FALSE got up there flush against the SERIAL 4, I
don't know. Could that have been the problem?  

To the best of my recollection, the first time it locked, I had had several
split QSOs on 40M that TR was showing as being on 160M, and I  had just
edited a QSO (changing the log to 40M), then saved the change when it
locked.  The second time it happened was after a 15M S&P QSO. I had entered
the call then entered the power, hit ENTER and it locked.  

The first time it happened I thought it could have been caused by RF from a
new amp; but the second time, the amp was not online.  

I'll try to duplicate the problem this weekend using the same weird CONFIG file.

73,
