If the program opened in the Add Real Time mode, then it would expect 
data from the transceiver, i.e. frequency, mode and such. However, if 
the radio wasn't on at the time of starting DX4Win, it would go into a 
radio time-out of whatever time in seconds is set up for, then promptly 
default into Stop Radio mode. That would be a pain in the ass for those 
who frequently start DX4Win with the xceiver off. Once the program is up 
and running, it is easy enough to just press F9 and get it ready to log. 
After a while, it becomes a second nature.
