Hi Walt, I don't understand this part: If I am on CW and I grab an SSB spot, the frequency I'm taken to is offset (low) from the actual frequency by the amount of the offset Amount of what offset? There are two Pro III .RIG files, try both and see if the problem changes/goes away. The B

Hello, Same thing with FT-1000D here. I have CW display offset set to 400 Hz, i.e. when I listen to a CW signal with 400 Hz pitch, the display shows his true frequency. But now DX4WIN sends me 400 Hz HIGHER than that the first time I click. with a second click I arrive at the correct frequency

Hi Jim, The CW pitch control changes the offset I use for copying CW. Let's assume I am using 500 Hz for the CW pitch and the CW pitch control is set to 500 Hz. Assuming I'm on CW and I grab an SSB spot by double clicking an SSB station in the DX spots window which happens to be on 14,250.00

Guy and Walt, The problem does not appear to be in the rig filesand slowing the command processing doesn’t appear to be the cure. I have tried to use delays in the file for the Yaesu FT9000/ 2000 and everything works in 7.05. In the Yaesu series of radios, there is a menu

Guy, As far as I can see, the rig files are identical to previous versions. In FT-1000 the offset is added internally direct to the display. It looks like v.7.06 now is adding an offset to the actual frequency before it is sent to the radio every time when a change of mode command is sent. This
