I was trying the band changes window for cq wpx cw contest. I remember I 
had problems last year and I was trying to find my mistakes in the 
setup. I use 12.23J version. 2 computers are in network and we are going 
to run MS.

According rules, 10 band changes are allowed. I setup the network, I 
went to Contest>parameter setup and told that we run MS. Also I set the 
2 radios in radio menu as "this radio is run(A)" and the 2nd one as 
radio (B) mult). I remind that in cq wpx band changes count and not if 
the 2nd radio gets mults or simple qsos. Also right click over the band 
changes windows and ticked "band changes per hour". I started log qsos 
in both radios.

If I have understand the rules ok, this counts as follows (and this is 
what I was expected to see in band changes window):

20m radio logs a qso  - 0 band change (for both radios)

40m radio logs a qso - 1 band change (for both radios)

20m radio logs a qso - 2 band changes (for both radios)

40m radio logs a qso - 3 band changes (for both radios)

40m radio logs another qso - 3 band changes (for both radios)

20m radio logs a qso - 4 band changes (for both radios)

20m radio logs a qso - 4 band changes (for both radios)

and goes on.... Both radios - computers are the same (run or mult does 
not has a differnce - really one signal is allowed - not as cq ww where 
mult radio could do qsos if these were mults) and should be allowed to 
have 10 band changes in total every single hour, that is from 00 to 59 
minute.

My writelog does not count right. The 2 computers have different 
numbers! Also a scenario. Let's suppose that network goes down for a 
while. When it comes again on and both logs are synchronized, numbers in 
band changes should change and be the same for 2 radios.

Any help?
