[SD-User] Trouble with rig control

[Martyn Johnson]

I have just tried SD (version V11.14) for the first time, and am 
having trouble with rig control.

I have an FT817. There is no FT817.SD file, but I have convinced 
myself that the FT897 commands are sufficiently compatible. I have 
checked the commands in the FT897.SD file against the FT817 manual, 
and I think they should work.

The effect I get when I set it up is that the received frequency is 
tracked correctly in yellow at the bottom of the SD screen, and seems 
to be shown correctly if I produce a Cabrillo log. However the current 
BAND does not follow when I change frequency.

The only exception to this seems to be that if I select the 17m band 
on the way from 20m to 15m, the band selection in SD changes to 160m.  
But there it stays.

The manual commands for selecting bands seem to work.

Does anyone have any clues to what I might have done wrong?  Is there 
something I've missed to link up the frequency display and the band 
selection?
