One for Wayne and crew I suspect. Experimenting with some "presetting" prior to some mobile/portable HF APRS, if I can get it all to fly. I'd like to automate the setup as much as I can, to eliminate any finger trouble, and also make the overall system very resiliant to unintended manual input.
I can save most settings (I think) in a "regular" memory channel, but it doesn't seem to save the DATA A mode, or if it does, it "appears" not to recall it correctly. When ever it is recalled, by fat finger, or over the remote, the 'A' is missing from "DATA A", as is the "USB" flag. I've updated the radio to the current firmware, MCU:- 02.18 and DSP:- = 01.30, no change in behaviour. Also, page 14 in the Programmers Reference manual (E11, Oct 24 2013.) The "MC" section (Memory Channel: GET/SET) seems incomplete. I can easily throw a command at the radio, and it will recall the memory contents just fine (so long as the memory has been filled of course.) But I can find no way to write the radio's current settings to a memory channel, with a remote command. I was trying to do that, as I was suspecting that just the act of touching any button on the front panel, was changing the mode from "DATA A" to just plain "DATA". Or so it seems (The 'A' disapears, as does the "USB" flag when in "DATA A" mode.) So, when recalling a memory, you don't (appear to) get back into "DATA A" mode (USB) as was the conditions, before writing to the memory. "Feature" or Bug, or me doing something wrong as the manual is not quite up to snuff? 73.
