Running v2.6.0-rc5 on a 64-bit Win 10 (21H2) PC, 3.0GHz i7-9700 CPU and 16G
RAM.

Issue with the frequency/mode table when using certain configurations under
v2.6.0-rc5.

I have multiple WSJT-X configurations defined for different operating
scenarios; my configurations include one for FT8 Hound operation, one for
'normal' FT8 operation, one for FT4 operation, one for 6m MSK144 operation,
one for 160m FST4 operation, etc etc etc.  Each configuration has its own
limited set of frequencies defined, with only the mode relevant to that
configuration assigned to each frequency in the set - for example the
frequency table accessed via Settings > Frequencies for my 'Normal FT8'
configuration includes (apart from a few FreqCal entries) only the standard
FT8 frequencies with FT8 defined as the mode for each one.

When I run the most recent GA release, v2.5.4, and the previous candidate
release version, v.2.6.0-rc4, I can switch to a particular configuration
and only the frequencies and mode previously defined for that configuration
are shown in the frequency table.

Now, in v2.6.0-rc5 I'm finding that in some configurations the expected set
of frequencies isn't available and the frequency/mode table includes
frequencies and modes that are not defined for that specific configuration
- it's almost as though a default set of frequencies & modes is being
picked up and used when some configurations are active.  To give an example:

I've selected my 'Normal FT8' configuration; when running v2.5.4 or
v2.6.0-rc4 the frequency set includes 1840kHz and 3573kHz (plus numerous
others) that all have FT8 defined as the sole mode in the frequency set.
Now, when I run v2.6.0-rc5 and activate that same 'Normal FT8'
configuration the frequency set includes multiple additional frequencies,
and modes other than FT8 - for example the frequency/mode list shown when
using my 'Normal FT8' configuration under -rc5 includes WSPR and FST4W for
1836kHz, JT65 for 1838kHz, JT9 and FST4 on 1839kHz, etc etc etc.  None of
these are shown in the table when using the 'Normal FT8' configuration
under v2.5.4 or v2.6.0-rc4.  Furthermore...

When I select my 'FT8 Hound' configuration under v2.6.0-rc5 none of the
frequencies, for example 28090kHz, that are available in that configuration
when running v2.5.4 or v2.6.0-rc4 are shown in the frequency table, which
again contains multiple other frequencies and modes (WSPR, JT 65, etc etc
etc).

The issue of the specific frequency/mode set defined for a configuration
not being available when running v2.6.0-rc5 makes using that version a bit
of a challenge...!
