[Dx4win] BandMap wildly wrong freq?

[Robert Morris]

Greetings,

I experienced the same thing tonight trying to mate a 
IC 756 Pro III as radio 1 in Ver. 8.

Thanks to Jim (AD1C) and to Tony (G8DQZ) for posting
and developing support for the IC910. I could not get it to
work with Ver 8 either.

In my case I am using a USB cable which emulates Com 5 for
the Pro III and another to emulate Com 6 for the 910.

I can verify the CI-V transceive function is turned OFF on both
radios. 

Might be the USB cables.

Take care

I'm just starting out with DX4WIN 8; the rig is a IC-756 Pro III.
When I use the bandmap with "Follow radio" checked, it's pretty broken
due to completely wrong frequencies.

For example, the rig is showing 50.125 Mhz right now. The band map
says "717,415.56 6m". It's sort of stable at that reading (sometimes
showing the right freq, usually not) until I spin the dial, then it'll
catch up for a few seconds until going to another bogus frequency.

There's a pattern - usually 717,xxxx for 6m.  Or, switching the rig to
20m (14,004.00) shows "475,416.56 20m". Or "1,400,526.00 20m".
(Currently it's swithcing between "14,005.08", "1,400,508.00", and
"475,416.56" in the bandmap.)

The rig is set with default address, 9600 baud, CI-V transceive off.
DX4WIN set to poll at 5000 ms.

How do I make this work right? Seems like a useful feature if it was
actually usable. :-)
