Wow John! You're faster than a speeding bullet!
The second problem is a bit more complicated. It is when working within the
Band Map.
I don't think you have tried the Band Map yet. It gets a little more
complicated now.
In order to see this problems, you have to have real time feeds coming into
the computer via a Telnet connection.
These are CW SKIMMER spots that populate the Band Map.
Once you have initiated the Telnet connection and opened the Band Map, it
takes a little time (few minutes) but spots will begin to populate the band
map.
How it "should" work: If you double click on a call sign, the radio should
jump to that frequency and be ready to transmit.
How it "currently" works: It jumps to the correct frequency, then defaults
to a single sideband mode (I don't recall if it was USB or LSB, but it
always reverts to that mode, as if it were a default).
The recovery of course is to punch the Mode button a couple of times to get
back into the mode you were working in.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM! It should not be changing modes when it jumps to a new
spot frequency.
Earlier I posted links to "BandMaster".
I have a hunch the BandMaster program will have the same problem.
If so, it will be easier to test it there because BandMaster will work with
or without Telnet [real-time] spots.
If no Telnet is used, it updates through the Internet every 5 minutes or so.
That makes no difference for the purpose of testing.
I want to install BandMaster today and test this and make sure my hunch is
correct.
I have never used BandMaster because it was in my logging program.
FOR ANYONE MONITORING THIS AND NOT KNOWING WHAT ALL OF THIS IS ABOUT:
Please click on the following link and look at the sample bandmap window
directly to the right of the title line "Band Maps Context ment".
http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Windows#Band_Maps_Context_menu
This window shows the band you are on as a vertical scale.
It lists the stations on the band that are calling CQ.
If the call sign is in italics and grayed out, you have already worked the
station.
If it is in black, it is a new contact, but not a multiplier.
If it is in some other color than black, it is a multiplier.
Which color will vary from one contest to another and one multiplier type to
another.
HOW TO LAUNCH BAND MAP FROM WITHIN WIN-TEST:

(you may have to patch the link in order to see the page; our reflector
likes to break long links).
Or like this:
There are tiny "Radio Buttons" for Radio 1 and Radio 2 near the top of the
screen on the right.
They simply have a "1" and a "2" in them. Click on "1" to open the Band Map
for Radio 1.

Subject: [TenTec] WIN-TEST OmniRig Eagle
I had a few other things I had to take care of before I was able to get back
to this an hour ago, and I do have a preliminary Eagle.ini file for omnirig.
It
reads/writes the VFO A frequency,
reads/writes the VFO B frequency,
reads/writes split state
I need to check the read/write for the mode, but will do that tomorrow.
At least I have it mostly there.
Other than those four things...
A Freq, B Freq, Split, Mode,
Anything else this absolutely HAS to cover?
I'm testing it with Win-Test version 4.11.0-DXP Thanks to Laurent's help
getting me started and pointing me where to go, well, in a good way, hi hi
hi
Possible things to program into the omnirig ini file includes:
(X in front means available in the Eagle serial / USB interface)
X pmFreq operating frequency
(assuming that pmFreq means the same as pmFreqA)
X pmFreqA VFO A frequency
X pmFreqB VFO B frequency
pmPitch CW pitch frequency
pmRitOffset RIT offset frequency
pmRit0 Clear RIT - this is a write-only parameter
X pmVfoAA receive and transmit on VFO A
X pmVfoAB receive on VFO A, transmit on VFO B
pmVfoBA receive on VFO B, transmit on VFO A
pmVfoBB receive and transmit on VFO B
pmVfoA receive on VFO A, transmit VFO unknown
pmVfoB receive on VFO B, transmit VFO unknown
pmVfoEqual copy the frequency of the receive VFO to the transmit
VFO
pmVfoSwap swap frequencies of the receive and transmit VFO's
X pmSplitOn enable split operation
X pmSplitOff disable split operation
pmRitOn enable RIT
pmRitOff disable RIT
(sorry, RIT not available via CAT protocol in the firmware, so I can't set
this up in the Eagle.ini file, I should add it someday though, would help
contesters with CATs (not dogs, lol) )
pmXitOn enable XIT
pmXitOff disable XIT
(sorry, XIT not a feature in the Eagle, so, can't be added)
X pmRx enable receive mode
X pmTx enable transmit mode
pmCW_U CW mode, upper sideband
X pmCW_L CW mode, lower sideband
X pmSSB_U USB mode
X pmSSB_L LSB mode
X pmDIG_U Digital mode (RTTY, FSK, etc.), upper sideband
(implemented as upper side band)
X pmDIG_L Digital mode, lower sideband
(implemented as lower side band)
X pmAM AM mode
X pmFM FM mode
Thanks, and 73,
