Jim, DXbase has always expected your receive to be on VFOa and if in split, your transmit to be VFOb. If not in split, it is assumed your rec and xmit are both VFOa. While we did make some improvements in the code to get better radio interface performance, the logic is not different than any other past release of DXbase. We also made a change in the DXbase 2004 code that will reduce or eliminate an occasional false error that the radio is not responding when in fact it is. This had been an issue in past releases, but in DXbase 2004, I think it is cured.
