I made a typo in my first message that may be causing some confusion.
I haved edited the text of my original message below. Changed or added

=====================================================================
My current computer configuration for CT 9.51 is as follows:
Computer --- 200 Mhz Pentium Pro running in pure DOS 6.22
Radio ------ Icom 775 DSP
TNC -------- Kantronics KPC-4
Mouse ------ Serial Port #1 - standard IRQ and memory address - 1200
TNC -------- Serial Port #2 - standard IRQ and memory address - 9600
Radio ------ Serial Port #3 - IRQ 5, memory address 03E8 - 1200
The 4-Com serial port board is configured with only two active ports:
#2 and #3. Serial port #1 is on the mother board. There are no
parallel ports in this machine and there are [no] known memory conflicts
according to Windows 98 when it is booted up. The motherboard CMOS
configuration [screen] on initial computer boot-up confirms these [serial
port] settings.
-------------------------------
NEW TEXT:
When running CT, I boot directly from a DOS 6.22 floppy disk and operate
from the DOS command line. Windows is not used when I run CT. When I
shut down CT, the computer goes back to the DOS prompt.
-------------------------------
After CT is running and I try to change the band up or down, it says
my radio (Icom-775 DSP) is not echoing, no frequency is displayed and
the radio does not change frequency. I also have to manually insert
the frequency into a packet spot that I want to send out. I never saw
a frequency appear in the CT window. However, the packet window and
mouse operate normally.
Now comes the mystery... When I generated the log and all the supporting
files after CQWW, most of the actual frequencies are in the log! The
only "zeroed" frequencies are for the QSOs right after I change bands.
(I also kept an abbreviated paper log listing the frequencies.)
Anybody have a similar experience? Is there an explanation or something
I have overlooked?
