Couldn't tell by me, Alan. Band and Modes don't change with spots on Ver 5.02 which is the last version that works for me. Besides all my logging is done in real time. I would imagine if you wanted to do logging "off line", to prevent the band/mode changing with each incoming spot, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me at all, never the less, you can stop the incoming spots by the "toggle holding" option or simply disconnecting from the DX packetcluster node. I don't know why this was addressed to me as it does not answer anything about the question/s about Ver.7 that concern me. I could live with the spots changing the band and mode, even though I find it to be an added and unnecessary distraction, but other problems with Ver 5.03 and all the Ver 6.xx versions I can't live with, despite some nice refinements. Thus my questions that have so far gone unanswered. I've been waiting years now since Ver 5.02 was released to see the capabilities this version had as explained in my recent post (below) reintroduced. Maybe nobody else works both CW and PSK? In Ver. 6 it encompassed a real pain to change between these modes, as I frequently do here. It took many steps in preferences to make that happen, as I explained in my post, so Ver. 6 was totally useless to me and I fortunately saved my Ver. 5.02 log and all and used Ver. 6 for only two days, which allowed me to copy and transfer all the QSO's from those two days back into Ver 5.02, which I've continued to use and wait patiently for over 2 years now! After all my references to this situation, is this finally fixed in Ver. 7 ???? Can one program a COM Port for CW Keying in addition to another COM port for PSK PTT and not have to go into Preferences | Control and keep continually switching the two parameters of the CW keying section whenever switching modes between CW (keying) and PSK (PTT)?? I recall in those two days many times sending with my keyer and paddle and not keying the rig as I last worked a PSK QSO and changed the parameters as was required. My question is simply "Is my wait finally over in Ver. 7 or has my long wait and patience just been a futile exercise" ? I would think that it can't be that difficult to go back and reinstate something in the progarmming that once worked so flawlessly in this respect. Has it happened yet??? -=Rog-K9RB=-

Is there a difference if you have ADD REAL TIME or ADD OFF LINE selected under the QSO sub menu? I have not tried it and am just guessing, but if you went from ADD REAL TIME to ADD OFF LINE would it no longer update the QSO window?
