It is more complicated than that. There are various situations where the 
"nominal frequency" which is the one we want to spot is not the same as 
the frequency on the rig. The most notable is during Doppler correction, 
which is obviously not relevant to WSPR but the frequency control is 
generic.

This can be done but it chips away at the asynchronous nature of rig 
control, also I do not think it is necessary. The simpler route of not 
spotting anything to the Internet while rig control is broken is (was) 
easier to implement and is more robust.

I am not sure what you are saying here Mike, I believe I have already 
addressed all the issues concerning band hopping and incorrect spotting. 
That is apart from the one we cannot address directly where there is no 
real rig control and the operator has not selected the correct dial 
frequency in the program.
