I don't know if this is relevant to the discussion or not, but when I am
entering information into my AC Log program, and I complete one entry and
hit the return key to put in my next entry, several blanks are already
filled in from the previous entry, such as the band, mode, state, frequency,
etc. These areas are not automatically filled in for me from my TS-590
because I do not have my TS-590 connected up yet to my AC Log program.
Therefore, I have to fill these areas in myself. However, here is what
puzzles me: sometimes I can move my up and down arrow keys through the
choices, like to move from SSB to CW, but other times I cannot, and I have
to delete what is in the box and type in the correct mode. This same thing
happens for the place where the state goes; sometimes I can just arrow to
the correct state but other times, I have to delete the state abbreviation
that is in the box and type in the correct one manually. I cannot figure out
why sometimes I can just arrow up and down to make my selections and other
times, I cannot and I have to delete what is there and type in the correct
information manually.

Thats what I thought.

Thanks for confirming.

Need to wire up the radio.

Very impressed with ACLog so far.
