I made a few minor corrections to draft 1 and draft 2 is available at  
https://tinyurl.com/2s3drdra

For those that don't wish to follow links I have reproduced the conclusions and 
the proposal below.  I don't have the skill or knowledge to code this but I am 
willing to test if anyone else decides it is worth coding.  I am also willing 
to update the user guide if the proposal is adopted.

Initial conclusions:

RX frequency recoded in ALL.TXT  may be misleading unless the rig dial 
frequency is set by WSJT-X.

RX frequency reported by PSK Reporter may be misleading unless the rig dial 
frequency is set by WSJT-X.

Logged QSO frequency appears to be correct regardless of the method used to set 
rig frequency.

Even if the rig frequency is set by  WSJT-X the frequency display will be amber 
on red if there is no matching frequency in the loaded table.

Proposal:

It is likely that many HF operators will like to tune to a DXpedition using any 
of the rig tuning methods a) through e) described above [see draft for 
details].  Sometimes the DXpedition will not be on a published frequency and 
there will have been no opportunity to edit the frequency table before 
attempting a QSO.

To remove the possibility of misleading ALL.TXT and PSK Reporter frequencies 
the operator should have the option to designate the current dial frequency as 
the reporting frequency.

New option Settings/General/Behavior  - Use dial frequency for reporting

When this option is selected:


  1.  RX frequency recorded in ALL.TXT shall be displayed dial frequency



  1.  Frequencies reported to PSK Reporter shall be derived from displayed dial 
frequency.



  1.  The dial frequency display shall be amber on black with no consideration 
given to matching the loaded frequency table.
