Are you seeing this "Rx Frequency" in the ADIF file, the Cabrillo File, the
TXT file (select both "QSX Frequency" and "Frequency" under "Options"), or
all of the above?

It probably would be, but when working split, does your radio report which
VFO is the transmit VFO?

Working split on an FT-1000MP, you would usually transmit on B (sub-VFO),
receive on A (main Rx), but you have the option of doing the reverse.  Is
the same true on a K3?

Unfortunately, looking quickly at the FT-1000MP status bytes, I couldn't
find any bit that indicates which VFO is set for transmit (maybe I missed
it).  This could be true of the K3, or it may just be a simple bug.  Another
thing to worry about would be QSK mode, which might affect the reported
frequency at any instant.

Perhaps Win-Test should always assume VFO B is the transmit frequency when
the rig is working split, otherwise use VFO A?
