[DogParkList] Problems changing both freq and mode via DX cluster panel

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

I spent a little time trying various settings and nothing appears to help.
The FT-857 works fine via my original microHam USB interface (and it was
working fine via the DigiKeyer before I put the K3 on it).

Changing mode via the Mode drop down works every time, but generally,
choosing a line in the DX Clusters Panel and hitting Enter does not set the
mode first time with the K3. Same appears to be the case with the Bands
panel.
It's as if I send both a freq change and a Mode change means the mode change
gets missed. Generally, send a freq change within the same band is fine,
across bands is not.

I've tried lower baud rates and increased delay to 500 ms, also tried 2 stop
bits - nothing appears to change that.

I seem to be having a similar problem with my K3 (the FT-857 was fine).

If I have Auto-Tune set, quite often, the mode does not change when freq
does, but as long as the line is still highlighted in the DX-Cluster panel,
hitting 'Enter' then sets mode correctly. If I highlight a different line
and ht Enter (or double-click), same thing happens and another Enter fixes
it.

It looks like a race condition or perhaps my delay is too short or baud rate
to high (but other changes work fine).

I'd be interested if you find the same John. I don't have a problem with
Band Plans, and use the one that comes of the net.

I haven't reported my problem yet, one because I've only just switched to
the K3 and of course its really a K2 driver and two, because I haven't
exhausted all possible combos of connection config yet.
