     Well,
     I'm still having my mode shift problem.  This is especially severe 
during cw contests like this past weekend.  What happens is that the little 
box in the bottom left-hand corner shows the correct freq., but shifts modes 
at random.  I noticed that during phone contests it shifts between USB and 
LSB, which causes no problems.  However, during cw contests it shifts 
between cw and LSB.  This can be annoying because if I happen to hit the 
keyer while it is shifted to LSB, the keyer won't fire.  Also, if I happen 
to hit enter during the LSB phase it enters the QSO as Phone and indicates a 
red B in the log.  I've discovered this can be corrected by clicking on the 
freq., hitting cw in the dialog box and going to the contest pulldown and 
recalculate the score.
     I'm using the newest version of WL (it's done this with all of them 
I've had).  I have a new harddrive on the computer (after a major crash), 
I've tried using various baud rates between the program and the rig.  The 
rig is a TS-570S.  I've heard from one other fellow who is using this rig 
and he's having similar problems.  I doubt it's the cable or the rig, 
because I use Log-Eqf for my every day log using the same computer, same 
rig, same cable, same baud rate and it's as solid as a rock.
     Any suggestions out there??
     73,
     Tom
