[Trlog] FW: TR683 with TenTec Orion?

[Fred Helmstetter]

Aside from the Alt-B/V thing radio control using 6.83 with a 1000MP and
IC746 here seems just fine. This Alt-B glitch does make it easy to get out
of sync and potentially log somebody on the wrong band since the program
still moves but the radio does not...

Most band map functions I've tried also work but I've had trouble giving it
a real workout because of a packet problem.  I've had no luck getting 6.8*
to handle incoming packet data on the serial port.  I get one line of text
at the top of the cntl-B window that overwrites itself.  No spots are parsed
out of the data. Value of PACKET ADD LF makes no difference. 

Of course, swapping in 6.79 binaries with the same config files makes it run
fine.  

Any ideas?

73,
Fred, N9FH

John,

You are right the "Alt-B, V" don't work here with my IC-781's either (I
don't use them normally ) but I just type the frequency in the window and
that does send the radio to that freq/band.  Obviously it's all what we get
use to (like me using the "exchangeradios" command).

Mark -

I just downloaded 6.83 a few minutes ago, and it still does not appear to
work with my Orion correctly. At first glance, it looks like TRLog
communicates with the radio OK, if I type a freq in the call window the
radio goes to that freq/band, but no freq readout from the radio on the
TRLog screen and the program does not respond to band changes made on the
radio. It doesn't look too good...

On the other hand, the interface with my Omni VI+ is better but still not
complete; e.g., ALT-B and ALT-V don't change the band on the radio. Freq
readout is good and radio talks to TRLog well. In-band freq changes typed
in TRLog change radio, but out-of-band freq changes typed on do not.

Hope this helps.

73 - John, W4AU
