[WriteLog] Omni VII mode problem

[Gary AL9A]

Roger,

Might the problem lie with the particular contest module in use at the time 
rather than the Ten Tec?  Many contest modules, i.e., Sweepstakes and CQWW 
for two, are mode specific.  I just tried using my CQWW CW contest module, 
with my IC-7600, and cannot get the CW mode to change to the next mode up or 
down by using Ctrl+F01 or Ctrl+F02.  Bands changes work with Alt+F01 or 
Alt+F02, but not mode changes.  I'm not sure what would happen with a 
contest module like Field Day or the Russian DX contest where you are 
allowed to use various modes in the same contest.

I can change the mode to by clicking on the frequency and mode display 
button just below Radio in the Entry window and then selecting a different 
mode like SSB.  The radio then changes its mode.  If I manually change the 
mode by using the mode buttons on the radio WL will reflect the new mode in 
the frequency and mode button.  I'm not sure if this is how your Ten Tec 
behaves or not.

73,
Gary AL9A
