Neil,
It works for me with Configurations name "FT8 Config" & "JT65-JT9 Config".
Not sure why a renaming would make it work. All I know is it works for me @
r7782.

Urp .. sent this reply directly to Bill .. so I'm including that here, along

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
change config. I'm thinking that the program on restart should
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?
Neil, KN3ILZ
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

Hi Dan,
I went back over all the settings, and decided to make a separate
configuration rather than use the default. Cloned a new version,
checked all the proper settings, and its working now switching the
settings to the proper frequency. Not sure what was with that
'default' config, but thanks for that tip.
Bill ... thanks for your pointers.
However, think about this for the future. If I switch to a new
configuration that is using a different mode, I shouldn't need to have a
setting checked for the configuration to reset the frequency to the mode
frequency as setup in the frequency table. I may not want to switch
to the last frequency I was using, as it may have been on another
band. If all I want to do is change from fast JT9E mode on 6M to
FT8 mode; I shouldn't have to worry that if I switch to that FT8 mode
its going to change bands to 20M if that was the last frequency used
which could cause an issue as I may be on a different antenna or
amplifier for 6M. The program should be able to verify the mode and
change to the proper area of the band even though the 'return to freq'
box is NOT checked.
Does that make sense.
Thanks for all the great work, and the KX3 radio setting does work great
for CAT & PTT control.
Neil, KN3ILZ
