[SD-User] orion & SD

[Ian Greenshields]

Hi Les,

For some reason my posts seem not to appear on the reflector. Sending this
to both.

Glad SD is tracking the frequency now. It should also track mode. I don't
think sending '20m', for example, is intended to switch the radio. This
simply allows the user to tell the software which band / mode to log. To
change band on the radio, you need to use the direct frequency entry mode -
just type the frequency into the callsign field. But...

The direct frequency entry seems only to work on a few radios. It doesn't
work on any Ten-Tec radios that I'm aware of, nor on the Yaesu FT-8x7
series. I think the set frequency command is hard coded in SD to assume it
is the same as the read frequency command, which I think is true of Kenwood
radios, but not many others. I cannot find any way of telling SD how to set
the frequency on Ten-Tec radios. Maybe Paul can comment.

Ten-Tec's new Omni VII uses the same command set as the Jupiter, so the
TT538 file should work with the Omni VII also.
