It's not your fault Scott! I think there's a problem with the
CT939-to-TS-940 communications especially WRT BandMap functions. I've
heard from others with 940s who seem to have similar problems. I'd
venture a guess that the 930 computer control that you installed
emulates a 940, right?
I've had all those kinds of problems you mentioned: reverse-split ALT-F3
packet spots (I think from a BandMap-initiated-contact),
delete-in-BandMap-then-crash, gobbledygook-on-screen. I've written down
a few step-by-step recreations for some boo-boos (not the crash,
however). Ever look at VFO-B when NOT working a split? Every once in a
while my VFO-B would be loaded with a frequency like 6.235 MHz or
300.0KHz. Strange!
