Apologies in advance if this has been discussed before - I tried searching the list archives and couldn't find anything.
Would it be possible upon requesting a band change, while operating in "Split: Rig" mode, for WSJT to send the appropriate hamlib/rigctl commands to either re-configure the split tx frequency or take the radio completely out of split mode before the first transmission? The reason I am asking is that after a band change, I have to quickly tap and untap the Tune button in WSJT to reconfigure the tx frequency of my IC-7300. Just the band change alone won't do it; if I band change in WSJT and then immediately try to tune, the radio will transmit on the old frequency and nothing downstream (e.g. automatic tuner / antenna switcher / amplifier) will notice anything has changed. For instance: - User starts by operating on 40m band. The IC-7300 is set to 7.074 MHz for Rx and is configured to Tx split on 7.0755 Mhz - User chooses to QSY to 160m band via the drop-down in WSJT. Their 40m antenna will not tune to 160m, so they need their rig to be ready to send RF on 1.840 MHz in order for their antenna switcher/tuner to operate - WSJT currently sets only the Rx frequency of the rig to 1.840 MHz; as of v2.1.2 when operating with an IC-7300, the previously-used split Tx frequency of 7.0755 MHz remains configured at this point - As a result, attempting to tune or have the automatic antenna switcher select an antenna based on incoming RF will not work; it will observe a 7.0755 MHz carrier wave from the radio during tuning and will not make any changes - The rig will not be reconfigured to use a split Tx frequency about 1.840 MHz until they attempt to transmit; this will either waste the first transmission attempt because the radio will be interrupted by the tuning process or (worst case) send excessive RF into the non-resonant antenna because WSJT transmission happens at full power while tuning happens at a reduced 1 watt. Hope that makes sense - am I the only one experiencing this situation? Cheers - 73 Matt W5MMW
