Dave, I also found this to be a problem.  There is also a problem in posting 
a split frequency spot.  Sometimes the QSX frequency is not entered into the 
outgoing packet spot posting, and sometimes it is.  It seems inconsistent.

I also find that I have to click on the packet callout several times for the 
entry to cause the radio to switch to the proper frequency.  If it is a split 
callout, such as on 40 and 80, I have to click many times to get the radio to 
take the split.  I use a Ic756Pro2, and I suspect this has something to do 
with the timing of the data comm from the computer to the radio.  I have 
tried both 4800 baud and 9600.  9600 seems to be somewhat better than 4800, 
but it is even tempermental, and I find myself clicking on the packet spot 
sometimes a dozen times or so in order to get the radio to switch.  Does 
anyone else experience this?
