If at all possible, I'd recommend that a 4-digit (160 thru 40M) or 5-digit (30M
thru 6M) number in a CQ text message be interpreted as the frequency to set
VFO-B. It is harder to misinterpret an exact frequency, especially once the
DXpedition mode starts being used and DX stations use Rx frequencies well above
(or below) their Tx frequency.

OK...so it added the 1st 3 digits as 190kHz to 1MHz to come up with 1.190
So what do we want to do with a 4 or 5 digit QSY like this?
#1 Ignore it?
#2 Change to it and handle it differently than the 3-digit QSY?

Mike, yes a QSY message was seen:

----------------------------------- 160m
112315 10 0.2 700 ~ CQ N9MB EN70 K
112315 4 1.4 864 ~ CQ WB9JOX EN61 K
112315 -18 0.7 1957 ~ CQ 1908 H40YM !where?

>From the Rx Frequency window:
(I clicked on the above CQ message, with this message. The K3 VFO-B switched
to 1190 KHz)
112331 QSY 1.190
112337 Tx 2131 ~ H40YM K1HTV FM18
112400 Tx 2131 ~ H40YM K1HTV FM18
112441 QSY 1.190 (I had clicked again on the above CQ line)
112701 QSY 1.190 (and again, with the same QSY to the frequency that WSJT-X
instructed to it to do )
112830 Tx 2131 ~ H40YM K1HTV FM18
A 190 KHz movement would have moved the frequency from 1840 to 2030 KHz, if
added, or 1650 KHz, if subtracted. So that's not the answer. Haven't yet tried
to replicate the problem with another local FT8 user.
