Hi,

This is interesting. I don't have this problem whether I have "VFO IND"
turned on or not (normally I always have it on but turned it off just to
test this. Now, I use an older version of HRD (4.1 build 2321) but I thought
the rig control part hadn't changed at all). Also just for the record, I
don't double click a DX spot, just a single click will do.
