Hi Sam and Rich,
your comment leaves me confused Sam, I think Rich was asking about what
happens when the mode is changed in WSJT-X. He cited that changing mode
to MSK144 should not leave a CAT radio on a band where MSK144 is not an
allowed mode (note that I believe this is only the case in the USA where
the FCC restrict data modes on HF by baud rate). You seem to be
referring to changing band on a CAT controlled radio, and describing
what you think should happen if he radio is not able to comply. I don't
see the link?

Hi Rich,
Here is what I would reply with.
Hi Bill,
I populated the Band drop down with a HF band such as 20M, then
switched to MSK144, neither the band or rig changed.
However, I then selected the 6M band while in MSK144, WSJT-X promptly
select the 6M and changed the rig to 6M.
If I then attempt to change to 2M, WSJT-X attempts to change the rig
to 2M, but reverts back to 6M when it detects that the radio returns
with the 6M frequency. I believe that at the vary least, WSJ-X should
issue the CAT command to change to that band and let HamLib take care
of the rest. At worst, you are no worse then before and the companion
programs that are monitoring the UDP traffic would at least get
appropriate UDP Status traffic.

Subject: [wsjt-devel] Bug when using MSK144?
In the latest version of the QLog program, written so blind hams can
use the WSJT-X digital modes, the MSK144 mode was added. When testing
MSK144 I discovered that when the MSK144 mode was selected while the
radio was still on any HF band, instead of switching to one of the
MSK144 VHF/UHF frequencies, the radio remained on the same HF band
that my K3 was set to before the mode switch was made.
This means that if the user accidentally called CQ, the transmission
would be made on an HF band, where the MSK144 is not legal, in many
countries. What should happen is that when the MSK144 mode is
selected, the band box should switch to the lowest frequency on the
VHF/UHF pulldown menu list and CAT control should switch the radio to
that frequency.
I hope that this issue can be resolved in the next release of WSJT-X.
Thanks.
