Band dropdown missing in GMFSK

I'm seeing a strange thing with GMFSK V0.71 - the band dropdown is missing. I'd not noticed it until I got my Icom tied into Hamlib, and noticed that I couldn't change the band from the program. Sure, I can spin the knob, but...

Also, when I then create a log entry to XLog, the band is not set. Again, I could set the band manually, but ....

Is this just because of some silly thing when I rebuilt the source RPM, or is this a problem with the .71pre version?

Check Settings->Preferences->Hamlib->Features->Set QSO data frequency. Note that gMFSK won't actually set the band. If the above is checked, the frequency from the rig is written to the band entry and the dropdown menu is disabled.

Hmm.. This seems to work for me, although the behaviour depends on how xlog is set up. If remote data is set to go directly to the log (Settings->Preferences->Other), everything works fine. If it's set to go to the qso frame, then bands (and modes) need to be set to use an editbox (Settings->Preferences->General).

That was it.

And that was my misunderstanding - that given hamlib gmfsk would set the frequency if asked. Another good reason why "Expected results" is so important on a bug report - to see if the user is expecting something other than what the program is designed to do.

I found this one out - I needed to turn OFF using a Optionmenu for the band, and use an editbox - that way the real frequency gets written to the log.

Thanks a log, er, lot!
