[WriteLog] Writelog and 756ProII

[Jerry Pixton]

Rick, et al

That is the way my 756 Pro II works. I think the issue is that the Icom 
reports the frequency of the active VFO. You can see this by just pressing 
the Main/Sub button and watch the frequecy being reported to Writelog 
change. Unless you use Writelog to go Split (and that is not the best way 
to go split on the Pro II) Writelog does not even know you are in Split. 
The Icom does not report this fact. As a DX chaser, I am always having to 
correct my log because it will have the wrong Tx or Rx frequency logged.

IMHO this is an Icom problem not anything that Writelog can control. The 
operator just has to make sure their log is correct.
