Which cluster are you connecting to? As far as I know, AK1A, DxNet, 
DxSpider, CLX, and probably many others DX servers does not complain 
about this feature!

BTW, I know that several logging softwares send spots with the same 
order WT does. The reason is mainly to get a frequency change easier if 
the rig is not controlled through the software.

I'll check.
