Hi Ken,
You frequency is showing as 142 -- not a ham band, and no where
near any for this contest.

Hey Larry,
I wasn't sure what that column represented, so that makes sense.
But why then, would it show as 142 when the log I created the Cabrillo from says 20m?

Hi Ken,
That is a good question -- I have no real idea where the 142 is
coming from..? However, some thoughts:
- What frequency do you see when
you look at the details of a QSO?? (Right click on a QSO.)
- It might be 14200 divided by 100
-- is there anywhere that your system? might be doing this??
Has this happened before?
- I don't see a frequency listed
on your screen -- the blue box between MODE and your call.? Is
the logger reading the correct frequency from your rig?? Is it
possible that "142" is somehow stuck in the logger somewhere
as a frequency???
Hunt around and see what you might find.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for your e-mail.? I'm sorry that you ran into trouble.? When frequency is blank, it is gleaned from the band value.? Since you have a specific value, it sounds like you had rig interface enabled, but not configured properly.? Since 142 isn't in the ham bands, it would not have induced a band change in the software.
When exact frequency is not known, Cabrillo maps band to band to frequency as follows:
1800 or actual frequency in kHz 3500 or actual frequency in kHz 7000 or actual frequency in kHz 14000 or actual frequency in kHz 21000 or actual frequency in kHz 28000 or actual frequency in kHz You have a couple options including:
- Using a text editor such as Notepad, do a find and replace after you create the Cabrillo file, being sure to maintain Cabrillo specs. - Transfer the records to AC Log, do a bulk edit and transfer back. - Edit each record individually in the contest software, clearing out the errant data so that the frequency field is blank for each record.
Next time, make sure that you have rig interface functioning properly if enabled, or select None from the rig list.
Enjoy!

I did notice that it was showing the frequency as .14279 (yes, frequency divided?by 100) and wasn't sure why - but I let it ride since it was otherwise working fine.? Since the band was ok, I just figured all would be ok.
Now the question becomes, how do I fix them all en?masse so I can upload a?Cabrillo file correctly?
I see Scott has replied - thanks, Scott! - so I will try his suggestions.

What do I do when the rig interface shows the frequency as it did - actual?frequency but divided by 100?

Hi Ken,
Thanks for your follow up.? I originally thought the value was the same 142.? Since each record has its own specific value, the Find and Replace won't help.? You will need to edit each record in the CQ WPX software, completely clearing out the frequency field to leave a blank value.? Don't enter 0.? Just make the field blank.
Next time, be sure you have rig interface returning the correct value.? In the main form image you sent, you can see the frequency display is just a blank blue label.? Make sure it is displaying the correct frequency value in MHz and updating as you turn your VFO.
Enjoy!
