I really wish Dxbase would not switch my radio to VFO A before reading the frequency I am on when making a QSO. It is very irritating when it suddenly changes frequency, band, mode, etc., then enters the WRONG information in the logging screen, meanwhile, the station with whom I am in QSO suddenly disappears ...
It seems to me that it would be quite easy to just poll the radio for the current frequency and mode and be done with it. This would make the radio interface concept *more* accurate, which, along with convenience and speed, is probably its intent. However, it is actually *less* accurate than not having a radio interface at all - at lease I know the information I enter is correct if I have to enter it manually ... I obviously cannot rely on the radio interface to do it accurately if Dxbase insists on reading the information from a particular location (VFO A) reguardless of where I happen to be operating at the time. The 2006 upgrade was flawless and the Dxbase 2006 Utility (particular the Column Order component) is a sustantial improvement. 73, Don Chisholm
