Bill, Thanks for reporting the problem, it was a bug and it happened in my last round of clean-up on the CAT code a few days ago. I forgot to account for non-Flex modes in the Kenwood transceiver status command IF;. I have a potential fix for the problem and am waiting for response from other CAT developers to insure no unintended consequences occur before implementing it.
When using a Kenwood emulation, Flex modes that don't exist in the Kenwood command set will return the error message "?;". This should in no way keep the third-party software from tracking frequency. That occurred because mode is also reported in the transceiver status command IF;. When generating the IF command response, I previously had inserted a space in the mode byte instead of the ? returned from the mode parser when the Flex was in a non-Kenwood mode. Inserting the error code in the IF response caused the whole IF command to fail and the frequency (and everything else concerned) was not updated. The easy fix is to just return an AM code when the third-party software is using the Kenwood command set and the Flex is in SAM. Mapping would be a better way but, since the entire CAT module is currently being rewritten, I'd rather not add mapping in the current version. Thanks again for reporting the problem.

I haven't tried a new SVN release in awhile and was surprised that when in SAM mode that DXLab's Commander would no longer track the SDR1000 VFO. This appears to be due to SAM mode information being sent now. Kenwood TS-2000 emulation was selected. I thought about posting this as a bug, but it occurs to me that perhaps this is an enhancement; no joke intended. Version 1.9.1 when in SAM mode allowed Commander to track correctly. I see there is now an option for SSB to DIG mode mapping. Perhaps a similar option for SAM to AM would be appropriate. Regardless, what is the intended CAT operation when in SAM mode and TS-2000 emulation? 73, NJ1H Bill Bordy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
