Hi Mike,

Doesn't really matter if WSJT-X is running or not…same behavior….but this is the typical scenario…Rudy reported this to me as he's fiddling with knobs all the time and I duplicated the problem.

Let's say WSJT-X is not running.  Your rig is set 160M LSB no split.

Start WSJT-X – it switches over to last band worked…say 20M, USB, Split.

Switch rig to 160M from the rig. Mode will not change to USB on next transmit.

OK, so the rig is remembering the mode from the last time 160M was used.

There is an issue in that many rigs cannot have their split Tx VFO mode queried or changed without some swapping around of VFOs. WSJT-X tries to avoid these VFO swaps wherever possible since they glitch the receive (or transmit) audio.

The same applies to Tx frequency but many more rigs have a way of setting the Tx frequency directly and it is a critical parameter that changes in normal WSJT-X usage.

I have taken the view that, given a CAT controlled rig can be QSY'ed from WSJT-X, not doing all these expensive and intrusive checks on each start of transmission is best. Maybe that is too lenient.

I suppose that a flag could be set whenever there in an unsolicited rig frequency change and that on the next Tx both the Tx frequency and mode should be verified and corrected if necessary when the flag is set.

Hi Mike,

    If you change band on the rig instead of WSJT-X and the mode on
    that band is different than WSJT-X expects the mode will not be
    set on next transmit.

    Frequencies are done correctly, split OK…just not mode.

    So if you are operating your rig, say on 160M LSB voice…then swap
    over to WSJT-X which switches your band to the last one you
    worked.  Then smoosh the 160M band on your rig – it will still
    stay in LSB mode next transmit.

Can you explain what you mean by "then swap over to WSJT-X" and "Then smoosh the 160M band on your rig" please?

Changing band using WSJT-X works of course.

Shouldn't mode be switched to what WSJT-X expects in this case?

I think so, but I'm not exactly sure what is not working yet.

This is rig dependent to a certain extent but I agree that mode should not be treated differently from frequency or split if the "Mode" setting is not "None".
