Hi Rich,
Here is what I would  reply with.

Hi Bill,
I populated the Band drop down with a HF band such as 20M, then switched to 
MSK144, neither the band or rig changed.However, I then selected the 6M band 
while in MSK144, WSJT-X promptly select the 6M and changed the rig to 6M.If I 
then attempt to change to 2M, WSJT-X attempts to change the rig to 2M, but 
reverts back to 6M when it detects that the radio returns with the 6M 
frequency. I believe that at the vary least, WSJ-X should issue the CAT command 
to change to that band and let HamLib take care of the rest. At worst, you are 
no worse then before and the companion programs that are monitoring the UDP 
traffic would at least get appropriate UDP Status traffic.  
73,

Sam W2JDB

Subject: [wsjt-devel] Bug when using MSK144?

In the latest version of the QLog program, written so blind hams can use the 
WSJT-X digital modes, the MSK144 mode was added. When testing MSK144 I 
discovered that when the MSK144 mode was selected while the radio was still on 
any HF band, instead of switching to one of the MSK144 VHF/UHF frequencies, the 
radio remained on the same HF band that my K3 was set to before the mode switch 
was made.
This means that if the user accidentally called CQ, the transmission would be 
made on an HF band, where the MSK144 is not legal, in many countries. What 
should happen is that when the MSK144 mode is selected, the band box should 
switch to the lowest frequency on the VHF/UHF pulldown menu list and CAT 
control should switch the radio to that frequency. 
I hope that this issue can be resolved in the next release of WSJT-X. Thanks.
