Will you get it through your head that this is not an issue of the behavior of the K3x; command? This is simply and issue that the K3 does not report the data sub-mode with the auto- information (IF;) UNLESS the K31; extended responses are enabled. The design imperative of microHAM Router is to be TRANSPARENT to user applications (Loggers, data software, control software, etc.). To that end it DOES NOT CHANGE the status of either K2x; or K3x; and does not care what the application does with the meta commands. However, it is difficult on the user when he sets a specific mode only to have it wiped out across a reboot - this is much like losing all of the memories every time one updates firmware or recycles power. In any case, perhaps Wayne will simply add the "d" byte to the auto information (IF;) data full-time - or at least when the primary mode is 6 (Data) or 9 (Data-Rev). Since the K31; meta state does not change the length of the IF; response, the presence of the correct sub-mode in the 'd' byte should not break any other software that is dependent on a specific meta state. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Don Wilhelm > Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 2:08 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 command mode default k30 k31 > > > I said I was not going to post any more on this subject, but > I tried the > K3 command because W4TV reported that it does not send a > response when > queried, but changes its CAT response. > > I find that the K3 does indeed report the mode as indicated in the K3 > Programmer's Reference.
