[Dx4win] CAT problems with TS950SDX

[Andy P Hewitt]

Hello all,

 

I hope that one of the PC gurus on this reflector may be able to help me
with a small inconvenience that has occurred.

 

I am using ver. 8.02 and have two rigs connected a) a TS950SDX and b) a
TS570s (used mainly for 6m). The CAT interface has been working fine since I
upgrade from 7.XX to 802 that was until recently. The CAT with the 570 is
still OK with frequency and mode control all working as it should. But with
the TS950SDX DX4Win will not display the band or frequency when the 950 is
on 18MHz. It does not matter which VFO it is trying to read, it just sticks
at the band selected in PREFERENCES/QSO/default band, in this case 21MHz. I
have changed the default band and that makes no difference. If I change the
rig to another band the frequency displayed in the QSO window changes, go
back to 18MHz and it sticks on the default band. It will change to any other
band just not 18MHz.

 

However if I click on a 18MHz spot in the spot window or on the band map it
changes to 18MHz. Just won't follow the rig if I change the band on the
keyboard.

 

I suspected a problem with the 950 but not so, the rig works perfectly well
with all the other logging programs I have on the PC. (N1MM, MixW, WinTest,
G4FON Contest and MMTTY).

 

In  PREFERENCES/RADIO I have selected TS-850-950, there are ticks in the
boxes for default address and baud rate (4800). No ticks in boxes for DTR
and RTS. I use a MicroHam KW USB interface.

 

Thanks for any advice.
