Maybe I should have kicked the tires a bit more, but the only thing that I really had an issue with was chasing spots on 40. When I clicked on a spot at 7055, the VFO-B would be set to TX on 7235. When I clicked on then next spot at 7060, it would set VFO-A for TX and set VFO-B for RX on 7255. This is all from a foggy memory, but it did make chasing spots a bit more difficult.<br>

I am running a Yaesu FTdx5000. The program doesn't have that radio definition. I was told be a couple of people to use the FT-2000 for the radio definition. A little forum reading says to use that or the FTdx9000. I did not switch it during the contest.<br>
