Let me describe it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I was running 2 x FT5000 in SO2R, using a Microham u2R controller. This is the same arrangement that I have used for yours without any issues.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>On several occasions the following fault would develop when on CW. Win-Test would start by losing the full CW message on the insert key. It would still send 599 + zone when pressing the insert key, but the call sign was not linked to it. So I would finish the QSO manually, and log it. On pressing <enter> to log the QSO , Win-Test changed the next logging line to SSB! I could not change it back to CW, even though the rig was set to CW, and I was still able to key it manually. The only cure I found was to change bands on the rig (eg from 15m to 20 then back to 15m) and Win-Test would then return to CW. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I tried to work out what the environment was when this happened ( it happened about 6 times in the contest this weekend). The only common factor was that just before the fault, I had been bringing spots down from the band map into the second rig – on SSB – by clicking on the spot, and so moving the second FT5000’s “A” VFO. I had also been switching the active radio using the “*” key and switching the latch on the u2R. So I think there is something happening when making adjustments to the second transceiver, which seems to upset the first one.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Has this been seen before? If so, is there something I can do about it? I don’t often take part in multi-mode contests, so have not noticed this before. I’m using 4.17, - ie the latest release. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>73<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Don, G3BJ / G5W<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>www.g3bj.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
