Switching configurations from what I have setup for FT8 to the

only way to reset the frequency is to either re-select the mode from
the mode menu where its already set in the saved configuration, or
re-select the band from the drop down.
I already have two configurations setup for use. The 'normal'
configuration for JT65/JT9 slow modes, and the FT8 configuration.
To reproduce:
1. Change to a different configuration. The system does not reset
the frequency.
2. Re-select band, program changes frequency.
3. Change to a different configuration. The system does not reset
the frequency.
4. Re-select the mode from the mode menu, program changes frequency.
I'm thinking that there's no command sent to the radio to change the
frequency from the last setting. I'm using DX Commander connected
to a KX3, controlling frequencies and tranmission.
Hi Neil,
Have you reset the working frequencies table since building with FT8
support or added some working frequencies for the bands you are using?
Yes, that was the first thing I did. As an aside, it may be a good idea
to add in the manual that when upgrading from a previous version to
reset the frequencies when in FT8 mode, as I found out the hard way
about doing that.
As a side note, I would not recommend using Commander as a rig control
intermediary with FT8 mode, it does not process CAT commands fast
enough to switch between Rx and Tx promptly and you will have
truncated Tx messages. Truncated Tx messages will reduce the
likelihood your messages being decoded.
I followed that thread with Dave, and have been adjusting the Commander
settings for my KX3. I really would hate to have to include rig
control changes in any configuration for FT8 .
