[LOGic] Frequency in Logbook

[Stan]

   Unrealistic?  i  think  not,  since that is the way most other logging
   programs  work.  The freq and mode in the log should always follow the
   radio.

   My problem I think, is Logic 8 is "different" from the way it operates
   compared  to  other  loggers I have used. It appears I have to use the
   tab key. In other loggers I
   used  the mouse to jump from field to field. As I found out, this will
   not work with Logic as Logic doesn't read the mode and freq unless you
   tab key from field to field.
   Since  I  hope  to  use Logic 8 in the ARRL CW contest next weekend, I
   hope I can re-program myself to use Logic correctly.
   Thanks

I would think that the easiest key to press would be the TAB key since it
sets into motion callbook lookup, time stamps, etc. My response was to his
statement that sounded like that he expected the frequency entry in the log
to follow the radio window when he stated: 

" The little rig window is realtime. I can spin my radio's vfo and the rig 
  

control window frequency changes. BUT the freq in the log form does not 
change. Same with mode change from radio.
The log form doesn't catch a mode change or freq change in "real time". 
At least it doesn't on my setup."
      

I think that kind of change is unrealistic and it has not worked that way
since Logic 4 that I know of. Perhaps in an earlier DOS version it might
have, but that would be like comparing apples to oranges.
