Just finished with cq ww cw, wow, have things changed with the conditions
as they were... Casual effort, just a wonderful time was had
newayzzzz....
Latest and greatest version of TR (which seemed to fix a few goofy problems i
was experiencing, those nasty little compiler switches!). All seems well except
i got frustrated not being able to switch bands, nor select spots off the
band map
and have the radio go to it... Got out a terminal emulator and verified
that both
tx and rx paths to the radio are good all seems well. I thought i may have
blown out the ttl/RS-232C translator that i built from all the RF. Radio
talks both ways from the terminal emulator, and i was able to
command/control the radio from it.
Cut to the chase here...
what i discovered is that on the TS950S, the radio control only seemed to
work when on VFO A.... if i was on VFO B, the only thing that apparently
worked from the radio was reading the frequency, which comes out of the
radio autonomously when tuning. No commands/polling necessary to get
frequency.
Radio control seem broke from VFO B....
Is this by design or have i discovered a bug???
Anybody else find this to be true?
BTW,
First time really using the Band Map feature.
For a little puppy with only DipoleKW antennas to work with, this feature is
super cool for S&P !!!!! On my wish list is a way to create per band
"filters" of "bandplans" to parse out of the map any SSB spots, based on
frequency. I dont want SSB spots cluttering up the end of the display. I
would prefer not to have to go to the cluster each time and build the
filters there. Much of the time i find that i dont have a need 2 be
connected to the cluster to use this feature, yielding to other, more
serious users the bandwidth on the channel for their use.
Tree, i have the 950S Communications/Interface manual that i could get to
you if you would find it useful.
