Controls related to frequency selection, received audio level, the
station being called, and date and time are found at lower left of the
main window:
//.Misc Controls Left

* A drop-down list of frequencies and bands at upper left lets you
select the operating band and sets dial frequency to a value taken
from the *Frequencies* tab on the *Settings* window. If CAT control
is active the radio's dial frequency will be set accordingly; if not,
you must tune the radio manually.
* Alternatively, you can enter a frequency (in MHz) or band name in
recognized ADIF format, for example 630m, 20m, or 70cm. The band-name
format works only if a working frequency has been set up on that band,
in which case the first working frequency on that band is
selected.
* If you are using CAT control, a small colored square appears in
green if the CAT control is activated and functional. The green
square contains the character S if the rig is detected to be in
*Split* mode. The square becomes red if you have requested CAT
control but communication with the radio has been lost.
IMPORTANT: Many Icom rigs cannot be queried for split status, so you
should not change the split status using rig controls when using
_WSJT-X_.
* If *DX Grid* contains a valid Maidenhead locator, the corresponding
great-circle azimuth and distance from your location are displayed.
* The program can maintain a database of callsigns and locators for
future reference. Click *Add* to insert the present call and locator
in the database; click *Lookup* to retrieve the locator for a
previously stored call. This feature is mainly useful for situations
in which the number of active stations is modest and reasonably
stable, such as EME (Earth-Moon-Earth) communication.
