N1MM Contest Logger VFO B issue

[Mark J. Schreiner]

I was wondering if anyone else out there is using their K2 with a
pseudo-serial cable to their compuker to get band/mode info for contest
logging using N1MM logger.  I've noticed that it records VFO A info okay
but if I switch to VFO B it continues to record VFO A info into the log
and not display VFO B info.  So, when contesting, I make sure to start
each band on VFO A and make an effort to not switch to VFO B while using
N1MM logging software.  In the past I didn't do this, the log continued
to record frequency & mode info from VFO A, and it screwed up the log.  
It wasn't very easy to go in and edit the log with frequencies and mode
info, if I could figure out which lines needed updating, and then it
still didn't pick up the new multipliers correctly, which was another
exercise to get correct.

As a sanity check I just checked the WIN-EQF program and it seems to
display both VFO frequencies simultaneously and indicated the active
VFO, as well as correctly showing info when I switch to VFO B.  So, I
think the rig & serial comm is okay otherwise.

I've filed a bug report with N1MM Contest Logger on this issue as well
as the previous post I just did on the serial port pulsing noise on
40m.  I've gotten emails back from Pete, N4ZR, who is providing
technical assistance on the N1MM program bug reports.  He's suggested
that I post here to see if anyone else has experienced this as well or
if it functions okay on your situations.

Comments?

Mark,

I'm new with N1MM, but a quick check just now with my K2 (#337 with most
applicable updates) shows that the N1MM Logger correctly tracks which VFO is
active and with the correct frequencies.  By that I mean that the VFO A
display is active when VFO A is selected on the K2, and the VFO B display is
active (has the focus) when VFO B is selected on the K2, and both show the
correct frequency for the respective VFO.  However, making a couple of dummy
entries in the log, starting with VFO A then going to VFO B, the VFO A
frequency was incorrectly entered for both.  Looks like a problem to me too!
