[Dxbase] Order of Operation

[Bob Main]

I have pretty much had the radio off for the last couple months.  Now I have it on (Mark V) and when I click on a spot I see the CAT light come on the radio, but it doesn't always respond.  For instance, it will change to one frequency, but when I press Alt-R it won't go back.  Also the other day I was trying to show my brother-in-law how it pulls the frequency from the radio with a contact and it didn't.  Luckily there is so much information entered I doubted he noticed.  I checked and the data/stop bits and speed are correct so that isn't the problem.  The only thing I can think of is the order I am executing things.  I would assume turning on the radio would be first and then starting DXBase.  What I may be doing and not realizing it is starting the program and while it is still coming up turning on the radio.

Does that sound feasible?  Maybe I need to turn on the radio and give it a minute to come "on-line" and then start DXBase.

73 and have a good long weekend,
Bob
