No... But if you want to log the frequency in notes, use the $$ macro
under QSO - Contest Mode - text... DX4Wins menu's aren't always very
transparent ;-)

Can't help you with Kenwood... Everything is Icom here and works
tickety-boo...

Yes... And to quite a hit song: "That's the way we like it!"

No... I would like this also.

Keep the ADIF from the old logging software. DX4Win puts everything into
notes... So some fields, such as frequency, are lost.
