One second and it disappears, and the cat work well. This large number is the result of the frequency of zero stored as a 64-bit unsigned wrapping when a small number is subtracted from it. It is a transient state that clears when the rig is first polled for the actual frequency. It should not cause any issues. >> >> In if I select two times the some band from band selector it show a >> number, eg. 00000001, selecting full field is 14.076000000000001, >> instead of 20m. >> Note that if change focus to another window the value return to correct >> 20m. This looks like a floating point issue, the frequency should be stored and manipulated throughout as a 64-bit exact unsigned integer number of Hertz but a few floating point calculations remain that could cause this. Again this should not cause any issues as the number will be for display purposes only, the underlying rig control frequencies are correctly stored. >> >> I inserted a new frequency for understand the fast modes. >> On frequency input the dot is not accepted, but comma is ok. 144.55 is >> wrong, 144,55 is good >> It is not a problem and is caused by program localization, as QT for >> some field use it. Are you saying that the frequency input in not correctly localized? I would expect input to only accept the decimal separator character of the current system locale.
