I first noticed the problem with the FT1000 in the SO2R configuration; the
FT1000MP worked as it should.  I then verified that it was just a FT1000
problem by testing them separately (SO1R).  Win-Test worked as it should with
the FT1000MP but I had the problems described with the FT1000.

The frequency display at the top of the Band Map does correctly follow  the
FT1000 as it is tuned.  Entering a call with Ctrl-Enter always places it at the
frequency of the last "grabbed" spot.  Alt-F3 shows the same frequency.  If no
spot was "grabbed" the call entered with Ctrl-Enter does not seem to appear
at all.  Alt-F3 shows the lowest frequency on the band (7000,14000 etc).
The recorded frequency of an entered QSO exhibits the same behavior.
(last grabbed spot frequency or base band frequency if no spot grabbed)

Thank you very much for looking into this odd problem.
