As I recall in earlier versions of WSJT-X, when in the FT8 mode, when
a user typed a band number followed by the letter "m", such as "20m",
in the Band pulldown menu box, the frequency would change to 14074
KHz. However, in version 2.2.2 when "20m" is typed into the band box,
instead of switching to the 14074 KHz FT8 frequency, it switches to
the 14.0966 WSPR frequency. No matter what band number plus the letter
"m" is typed into the band box.WSJT-X always switches to the WSPR
frequency used on that band. It does this when any other mode (FT4,
FT8, JT65, etc.) is the currently selected mode.
The QLog program, written by Sam, W2JDB is used by many blind Hams
around the world to make digital QSOs with WSJT-X. QLog's ALT+B
shortcut addresses the band box and allows the user to type in a band
number plus "m" to quickly move to the correct frequency on that band
for the currently selected mode. It used to work correctly in earlier
versions of WSJT-X.
Typing the band + "m" in the WSJT-X band box should change the correct
frequency for the current digital mode.I hope that this bug can be
corrected in the next version of WSJT-X.
Thanks.

Hi Rich,
I'm not sure the behaviour you describe has been implemented since mode
specific working frequencies were introduced several versions back. I
agree it is probably desirable behaviour and I have changed WSJT-X for
the next release such that, only if a working frequency for the current
selected mode and IARU region is available, will it accept a wavelength
entry in the working frequency drop-down entry field, and in that case
it will select the lowest working frequency for the currently selected
IARU region and mode for that band.
