You are right. There is no "frequency set" command in WinOnCore, but you can simply type in $PRTHS,FRQD,0.01 and press return to send the command from the command window. That's what did. WinOncore let me see the unit status - satellite tracking etc as did VisualGPS and Tac32. In the CW12 Us

A "frequency set" command in WinOncore?
