OK. I am just using the rig control built into WSJT-x now. And it is not remembering which antenna port when switching bands from an HF band such as 10 meters to 6 meters and back. I think I need a CAT command to tell it to switch antenna ports when I go to 6 meters and the HF bands for both VFO's. That may be the same for Commander also.

OK, WSJT-X using Hamlib for a direct connection to the rig definitely doesn't send and band change commands so if that improves matters it will be useful to know. > > > > Jay Hainline KA9CFD > Colchester, IL EN40om 73 Bill G4WJS. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Somerville > Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2014 15:17 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] radio command issue using WSJT-x > > On 30/12/2014 15:08, Jay Hainline wrote: > > Hi Jay, >> Yes the 2nd VFO is on the correct band. > OK, then possibly Commander is sending too many band change commands, > sending a band change command when already on the band will cycle around > the band stacking registers.
