The big issue here is that most software that uses 'kenwood protocol' sends the mode change BEFORE the new frequency
I modified the radio control file for dxbase to send frequency and mode together as opposed toe setting the mode THEN chaining the frequency My modified command sets mode and frequency in one command string with no pause and it works just fine On Tue, 2011-02-15 at 14:30 -0800, Julian, G4ILO wrote: > > Greg - AB7R wrote: > > > > I also addressed this with Scott a couple years ago and he had no interest > > in modifying the software for the K3. > > > > > > I think the problem is the K3's habit of restoring the mode last used on a > band when you change to that band.
