Hi folks, I had a problem last night involving DX Base that I'm sincerely hoping doesn't come back to bite me badly. After calling for a few minutes I finally managed to work a ZL4 station operating split on 40 Meters. All was going well and I got my report, at which time I logged the contact. Being 2:45 in the morning I guess I wasn't as sharp as I normally am, and I forgot that once you log a split contact DX Base clears the split VFO function on the radio, and I wound up transmitting on a frequency below 7100 kHz - not only bad for my license, but bad for the 600W amp that was now suddenly looking into a 4:1 SWR, instead of the 1:1 on the proper QSX frequency.
Please tell me a fix for this problem is in the offing in the 2005 release?? It's one thing when it clears a 5 kHz split on 20 meters and all I have to worry about is an angry frequency cop - but the stakes are much higher on 40. In fact, I've *never* been able to get DX Base to play well with VFO b on this radio. 73, Peter
