It uses the band:

For example, if the band is 20m but the frequency is 7025, Win-Test 4.10.0
will change the logged frequency to 14000 when it saves the QSO.

Correct, at the moment it saves the QSO in the .WT4 file.  The Cabrillo
file is generated from this saved data.

BTW, for split frequency QSOs, e.g. DX on 7045, QSX 7225, Win-Test logs the
DX's frequency, 7045, in the Cabrillo file (VFO A frequency).  So looking
at the Cabrillo file, it may look like a U.S. station transmitted out of
band, when they did not.
