Fixed Bandmaps seem to have limited value since they are not populated by
Packet spots.

Per your last paragraph: What are these fixed bandmaps used for?
Check out this page which explains Fixed Bandmaps. Scroll to the bottom of
the page and read about the Windows menu.

Subject: [WriteLog] WL V12 in ARRL DX
I used the new V12 for the few hours I could get on in the ARRL DX contest
and had relatively good performance. It never crashed, although once in the
last ten minutes or so it hung up briefly with the cursor frozen before
finally coming back to life so I could send my TU to a station I had just
worked and log him. Thankfully it didn't crash forcing me to restart.
The only thing that seemed to stand out was the highlighting of calls by SCP
in the Rttyrite window seemed very slow. I would often decode a call by
ear, type it in by hand, send the exchange, log the call and be sending "TU
AL9A" before the call was color coded by Rttyrite. This is a new Dell
desktop with a 4th generation Intel Core i5-4460 processor with up to 6M
cache and up to 3.40 GHz speed, so I don't think the CPU is overloading. I
was connected to VE7CC via his CC User program, but not connected directly
to a Skimmer. Will have to watch it in future contests to see if this is
noticeable again.
I do have one question though if someone could enlighten me. I never
noticed this in V11, but maybe I just missed it. In the Windows drop list
the last item in the list is called Fixed Bandmaps and you can select up to
5 maps. What are these fixed bandmaps used for? I'm a SO1R station, so
maybe they are for SO2R or multi ops? Just trying to figure out what they
could be used for.
