[WT-support] Cabrillo error with WT4

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Are you using two radios, or two receivers in one radio?  As you probably
know, there's currently no way to dedicate the secondary radio window to a
Sub-Receiver (or a VFO B).
If you have two radios, is it also computer controlled?  Is the frequency
display (of both VFOs) accurate in the Radio 1 / Radio 2 band map windows?
 What type of radios are you using?

Win-test always uses the frequency of VFO A in the log; perhaps you were
using VFO B to make the QSO on the secondary radio, and VFO A was stuck on
28450?  Or, if you're using an FT-1000MP or similar, and it is in "Memory
Tune" mode, Win-Test will incorrectly log all QSOs  based on the value of
VFO A, not the "memory tune" frequency that you see on the radio.

These are just some possible explanations, to give you some things to check.
