[WriteLog] Bands for CQP

[Garry Shapiro]

George, Rob, et al:

I did know that all would be well from the radio side. And, as K6RB reminded
me, Ctrl F1/F2 adjusts the mode. It just seemed peculiar that it does not
work "smart" from the keyboard by defining band segments in the Bands menu.

I thought "I" was missing something. Guess not.  I really like controlling
the frequency from the CALL field, and could not remember whether it was
this way last year, or if I had something wrong.

Thanks for confirming that nothing is wrong.

Garry

When CQP (instate) is selected, the default Bands are the entire bands with
all modes (e.g. 3500-4000 kHz, LSB, USB, CW)--no subbands. But  when typing
a frequency into the CALL field the mode does not necessarily
track--especially from phone to CW.

Gary,

It seems like you are worrying about something that you don't need to worry
about.  I think you can forget about the subbands altogether in WL.

This is what I think your concern may be:

1.) You have just worked and logged K5KG on 20 ssb
2.) You now hear K5KG on 20 cw, but are concerned that if you work him he
will be a 20m dupe.

Well, that will not be the case if you have established radio control
between WL and your radio.  When you switch the mode on your radio from SSB
to CW, WL will switch modes.

Then if you log K5KG on 20m CW, he will NOT be a dupe.

Does this clear things up, or am I missing something?
