[Dx4win] ICOM 756-ProIII interface in DX4Win

[Alan Braun]

I just got a 756proIII. I've installed it into DX4win using the default 
address (6E), a baudrate of 9600, COM5 (which is where my radio put the 
USB interface cable), a poll rate of 5000ms, max tries of 6. I've also 
set the radio up for a couple of other programs - N1MM logger, and Ham 
Radio Deluxe (a really nifty program that controls practically every 
imaginable parameter on the radio). The other 2 programs work fine, but 
DX4Win exhibits some weird behaviors, at least in 7.02.15 which is the 
version I'm running. When I click the Radio/Set frequency command it 
will correctly read the frequency, but if I change frequency on the 
radio it isn't picked up by the program (as it is in the other 2 
programs I mentioned), and the "read" frequency often changes to 
something bizarre if I click the "read" button in the window or if I try 
to enter real-time logging using the F9 key. As I've been typing this 
message I've seen the "main frequency" change multiple times, to 
10.133.00 (where the radio is set), to 1013,300.00, and also to 
475,416.56 with no input from me at all and no movement of the mouse. It 
cycles through these 3 readings, seemingly at random, about every 10-15 
seconds or so. What's wrong, and what do I need to do different? As I 
said, it works fine in both of those other programs using the same 
address and baud rate.
