I seriously must be doing something wrong.  Decided to try M/2 for NAQP this weekend, but I am just not understanding what i need to do.  

Previously, i've operated SO2R, open a copy of Writelog on each computer, create the log, copy the messages over, and take off.  With M/2 I have to show which radio is logging the contact, and make sure that I dont change bands too often.  

I opened the BandChanges window, however it just basically tracked back and forth when each radio makes a contact.  So I read some things on Scotts site, went in and saw the Window Radio Left, Window Radio Right, Window Run Radio, Windows mult radio.  I selected the Window Right for the right computer, Window Left for the Left computer, Run for the Right computer (cause it shows R in the band changes) and mult for the left radio.  I opened the network window, see it tracking both computers, open the band change window and the same thing still happens.  Furthermore, when I log on the Left/Mult radio, a 1 appears in both the R and the M columns on both computers.  If I log on the Right/Run radio, a 1 shows in the R window but a 0 shows in the M window.  This leads me to believe thats the reason the band change window isnt working correctly.  Does this mean that each time it logged a 1 in both columns it thought that both radios logged the contact, thus the reason for the band c
 hange to not work correctly?

I've read Scotts site, and got a few things from the Archives, but there's no concise Howto on M/2.  There's DEFINITELY nothing about it in the help file, which isn't a surprise, since its never been much of a help.  

Whats the problem?  Why isnt my band change working and what about the R and M both showing 1's when the left/mult radio logs a contact but shows a 1 and a 0 when the right/run radio logs?  If Im running M/2, and want both radios to CQ or both Radios to S/p, does it make a difference if I've chosen one to be the Run and one to be the Mult?  This is 2 runs or 2 mults.  Does this show correctly in the log?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks
