OK .. Scenario I often use is this; I'm monitoring JT65/JT9 on
20M, I want to switch over to FT8 to see what is happening so I

check the band and/or mode to verify the freq setting.
OK .. just tested this: in my FT8 configuration, I check the
setting for 'last used freq', then switched to my JT65/JT9 config
and did the same.
I then switched the config back to my FT8 settings, then selected
40M. OK - freq is at 7.079. I switch to JT65/JT9 config, the
freq doesn't change it stays on 7.079, doesn't change until I
re-select the band, or re-select the mode. So I'm at the jt65/jt9
freq of 7.076, I switch back to FT8, the freq changes to 7.079 as it
should. So the freq isn't changing when I go back to the jt65/jt9
config.
Hi Neil,
I know you want to stick with Commander and I do have sympathy with
you on that, I use DX Lab Suite myself and I have foregone Commander
when using the fast modes and FT8.
Can you try, just for a test, changing your configurations to use
direct rig control and see if the problem still happens. You will
have to close Commander before starting WSJT-X.

Hi Bill,
OK I switched from Commander to the K3/KX3 settings in WSJT-X on both
configurations, closing the program in the FT8 configuration. I
reopen the program, it starts in 20M at the FT8 freq. I move to 40M,
it changes properly, I then switch to the default (JT65/JT9) config,
and the frequency does not change from the FT8 frequency. I have to
select 40M in order to get the 7.076 freq for jt65/jt9.
Does this help?

Did a build to bring my program up to r7782, works the same. Switch
config to the FT8 one, changes the freq. Switch back to the default
(JT65/JT9) configuration, no change in frequency. As I mentioned
before, it appears that on the switch from the default to the saved
config for FT8, the system verifies the mode and makes the change.
Going back to the default it doesn't.
I can live with it, but should it do that ??
Neil, KN3ILZ
