Hi,

First, a friendly correction. Remember, VFOs don't have modes. Modes are assign to MAIN RX, SUB RX and, indirectly, to TX. It might be less confusing to post with this in mind.

I don't understand, Bob, when I push A>B on my O2 and O1 (1.372b5) band and mode are transferred perfectly.

I believe what the original poster said was that when he manually changed the vfo b mode, the FREQUENCY was 1.5 kc off.

Is this not what should be expected?

This IS a problem Larry.  When you need to split you shouldn't need to
remember the mode you last used on the second VFO. You just want to split.

The solution is simple.  A>B or B>A should transfer mode as well as
frequency. Who wants to split frequency and mode at the same time? Nobody
I know, that's for sure.  I've lost count how many times this fix has been
asked for.

I don't know why but this seems to be a concept the fellas at Ten Tec
struggle with.

Whoa.  Isn't there an offset between SSB and CW normally? 1.5kc sounds

about

right.  This does not seem like a bug to me.

And why would you want to transmit in different modes when working split
anyway?

Isn't this twisting things just a bit, or am I missing something?  I know
that when I go split, I am ALWAYS in the same mode.

I admit that I'm easily confused, but this doesn't seem like a problem.

If you are going to transmit on VFO B, the mode must be the same on the
main
and sub receiver.  There is definitely a bug a here.

O2

v2.032!



Orion operators, be careful if you assign TX to VFO B.

Like Randy, I also found a TX frequency error, 1500 Hz worth, on my

Orion

II v2.032.

My setup:

On 40 meters:
Assign TX and SubRX to VFO B.
Assign RX to VFO A.
Set MainRX mode to LSB.
Set SubRX mode to LSB.

Using an independent receiver to listen to the output, I pressed TUNE,
and

zero

beat the tx signal. I spoke into the microphone (connected to front

panel

conn.)

and heard my voice right on frequency.

Then I changed MainRX mode to LCW.

Pressing TUNE, I noted that the TX frequency did not change from above.

But when

I spoke into the microphone, my speech was unintelligible. I had to

tune

the

receiver 1500Hz down to hear my voice normally!

BTW, Randy's scenario was as above but with SubRX mode set to USB and
Main

RX to

LCW.

I checked and found that the shift isn't dependent on sidetone setting.

I didn't check previous code versions.

When I get a chance I'll try other combinations.

Condition:
VFO A is on 30 meters LCW mode
VFO B is on 60 meters USB mode.

Result:
VFO B receives on frequency but transmits 500Hz low of frequency

displayed.

If VFO A is then changed to USB mode (and no other changes),  then

VFO

B
transmits on frequency displayed.
