[Dx4win] Freq doesn't change properly when clicking a spot.

[Louis Dietrich]

Guy,

 

You are 100% correct! There are no standards. Even for the most used
commands like set VFO A, Set VFO B, read VFO A, etc...

 

Yaesu is currently updating their CAT Operations Manual and it may be posted
this week and they are standardizing the commands for the FT2000, 950 and
9000, but I do not know about ICOM.

 

As for the current offset problem, inserting delays did not help the Yaesu
radios.

Lou,

 

In my case I don’t have the problem with ICOM but a delay is needed for the
OMNI-VII

Otherwise something is going wrong with the mode. So trying with a delay
wouldn´t arm in ICOM radios to.

 

BTW the biggest problem with ALL the radios on the market is that there is
no standard !!!!!!!!

Not even in there own company  they have a standard look to all the problems
with the ft2000 and ft9000

All  ICOM  radios can´ t read VFO-B, setting is OK , I sended dozens of mail
complaining about this to ICOM

Did you get an answer?  For sure I didn´t.

Guy and Walt,

 

The problem does not appear to be in the rig files....and slowing the
command processing doesn’t appear to be the cure. I have tried to use delays
in the file for the Yaesu FT9000/ 2000 ....and everything works in 7.05.

 

In the Yaesu series of radios, there is a menu FRQDISP...by changing it to
‘DIR’, the 7.06 problem disappeared. (Thanks John, W9ROM) Is there a similar
Menu item in ICOM...at least, you can fix the problem as Paul figures out
what happened in 7.06.

 

By fixing the Omni VII and K3, we seem to have “broken” the other rigs’ CAT.
The FT2000 and 9000 have very quick processors and can handle the
commands...so the problem is probably elsewhere. 

 

BTW, for anyone interested, I have a new rig file for the updated FT9000 PEP
rigs...if you need it, please contact me off the reflector...

Hi all,

 

Yes the CAT part of the program is changed , Paul and I spend much time in
solving the problem 

For the OMNIVII rig and the K3 rig, but didn´t found or have any problems
with my IC7800.

 

 

If you are aware how to change a rigfile via the radio database (closed log
)

 you can try to give a little delay (100ms) next to the command line for  

 

set vfo A or 

set vfo B or 

set mode or

set mode B  

 

make sure you make a backup of the rigfile first
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

In the omniVII file we had to put a 100ms delay in one cmdline because the
radio 

couldn´t process the correct sended commands.

Hey all,

 

Version:   DX4Win 7.06.02

Rig:           IC756 Pro III

 

If I am on CW and I grab an SSB spot, the frequency I’m taken too is

offset (low) from the actual frequency by the amount of the offset

I use on CW. A second double click on the spot corrects this anomaly.

 

Any ideas as to what is causing this problem?  Previous versions, 

i.e. dx4win7.05 didn’t exhibit this behavior.

 

 

                 Regards,
