[WT-support] Editing bands - Cabrillo error

[Zoli Pitman HA1AG]

GM, 

Last weekend I noticed the following:

I made the first two QSOs on 20m with my daily logging SW and after that I switched to WinTest. WinTest has CAT to the radio. In order to get the Serial nr correct I just entered the first call into the log on the freq where the second QSO was about to be made - on 40m. After the contest I wanted to correct the time, freq and band for that first QSO. I could change the band with ALT-F1/F2 and the time with ALT-F. 

However I had to change the FREQ as well, since that goes to the Cabrillo Log! It should also be possible in the ALT-F Window, but I got an error message: "The Freq is not on the QSO band" and I couldn't change the freq. 

It seems to be some misfunctioning protective logic. IMO it should be much better to simply reset the freq to a band default like 14000 when the band is changed manually within WT with ALT-F1/F2. Otherwise you get the wrong freq in your Cabrillo (If your CAT recorded Freq of the moment you entered the contact), which will be penalized by many contest adjucators.
