I don't know, but it is possible that QTCs don't sync across the network, so
I guess you would call that a feature request.  But first, make sure
*all*computers are running the same version of Win-Test (4.5.1).

Also, I have been trying to set up OmniRig.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Switches" VFOs.  I just tested this with
OmniRig and a K3 and it works fine.

But, you *have* to make sure that you are in CQ mode, otherwise your CQ
frequency is never set.  When you press F1, Win-Tet marks the CQ frequency
in the bandmap in yellow, and it is clearly labeled "CQ".  That is where
Alt-F4 is going to take you after you are done working the spot, and press
Alt-F4.  If your entry box is in S&P mode (check the Clock window), press
Ctrl-Tab to restore CQ mode.   Then press F1, move the VFO, and press
Alt-F4.  Does that work or not?

One disappointing thing I just noticed, however, is that "Pass frequency to
Sub VFO B" (Alt-Double-Click) is grayed out and unavailable when using
OmniRig. :-(

Why is that?
