Hi folks,
   I just ran CT 9.50 for the first time; 9.40 was previously installed. CT is 
able to control the FT1000MP via COMTSR1 by either typing a frequency in the 
call sign space or changing bands with Alt-F1,F2. But CT fails to notice any 
band changes I make at the rig. 

   But if the on-screen band differs from the actual radio band, I get the 
error:
"Out of band 134217128" flashing on the screen when I hit return to log the 
contact. (This tells me that CT sorta knows what band the radio is on)

   Also, I get the error "Radio Timeout!" a lot on the bottom of the screen.

The rig interface works correctly with both TRX-Manager (2.40), and Log-EQF 
(9.18), and CT 9.40. The computer is a 300MHz PII with Win98.

Did I miss something in the instructions? Did we lose ground going to 9.50? Do 
I finally have to _really_ run CT in DOS mode (shudder)?

***Workaround?*** Can I use 9.40 in the contest and then use 9.50 to produce 
the Cabrillo output?

Tnx, Tony
