Re: [wsjt-devel] VFO-B behavior
The semi-official WSJT support group is on Yahoo groups. The ones on Groups.io are not (as far as I know) offical support groups. This has always been the development support group, which I do believe was originally used to report bugs, and not for actual program support other than bug issues.

Re: [wsjt-devel] VFO-B behavior
Hi Rebecca! First of all I'd to say that I'm very pleased to meet a YL so skilled and rich of valuable suggestions and proposals. I agree with you both on WSJT-X usage regarding the VFO A/B behavior which with this software could be an operator choice, as well as for the possibility to have a separate mailing list dedicated specifically to WSJT-X usage, in order to let the development topics free of everything which is not strictly related to programming, despite here we have not moderators or censors, this list is very friendly and open. Wish you all the best and hope to have the possibility to have a QSO with you on FT8 one of the next days. -- 73 de Marco, PY1ZRJ (former IK5BCU) Il 04/03/19 21:06, Rebecca Milligan ha scritto: > One more thought – if this group really is intended for software > development issues, can a separate user support group be created to keep > the programming and operator issues separate?

Paul, I don't know what's different about your 7300 but mine takes too long switching VFOs to make "rig" a viable option. Fakeit works well though.

One more thought – if this group really is intended for software development issues, can a separate user support group be created to keep the programming and operator issues separate?

Re: [wsjt-devel] VFO-B behavior
Also when switching bands should set VFO-B too for split operation if appropriate.

[wsjt-devel] VFO-B behavior
Found an undesirable behavior that I think can be easily fixed. On ICOM rigs hamlib assumes split is always on VFOB to cover rigs without status commands...as does FLRig (and perhaps others). If VFO-B is the active VFO and you switch bands on WSJT-X only VFOB gets set...VFOA does not change...so it appears to do a reverse split and tuning can, of course, be way off depending on where VFOA is sitting. Once you click transmit VFOA does get changed but by then it can be too late for your tuner. I believe all that we need to do is make VFOA the active VFO when switching bands before any frequencies are set.
