[WriteLog] More on ALT-F3/CTL-T bug

[w4lc@fuse.net]

What is your advice about the problem I encountered?  When I clicked on the spot in the Spot Window, it would put the spot in the Logging Window, but would not QSY the TS850 to the spot frequency.

I have operated many contests in the past, and this has always worked fine before.  I am running 10.36G.

The program was reading the correct frequency from the rig, and I could actually QSY from band to band using the Radio menu on the top toolbar.  The correct rig and port was selected in the setup menu.  This problem persisted over both days.

Further, the program put the spots on the bandmap correctly, and clicking on the spots on the bandmap would put them into the logging window, but again would not QSY the rig.

Thanks    Jim    W4LC
