[Dxbase] Frequency population lost

Thu May 1 20:52:35 EDT 2008

does it still change the freq on the radio, when clicking on the dx spot???
baud rates etc is NOT set just by selecting com port. the radio baud rate 
(in the menu??) has be the same as the software..
does it work with other software??? check its settings
