Trlog has an option for logcfg.dat called "LOG FREQUENCY ENABLE", here is
the description:

When True, the serial number will be replaced with the frequency of the
QSO (without the leading Megahertz value). The band and mode will still be
written at the start of the log entry. This feature is only useful if you
have an interfaced radio.

Only useful when not contesting....
