Hello Pete! Yep...the culprit is the logging program but not just N1MM....Logger32 does the same thing. I posted to the Logger32 reflector and the program author told me that when changing bands, Logger32 send a macro string similar to this: FR0;FAfrequency;MDmode
The FR0 command is what resets the split to off. I'm not really familiar with macros but I think the fix is going to involve sending an FA command instead of FR. Anyone care to comment?
