Hi Sam,

I am unable to reproduce that behaviour. Here's the output from the udp_daemon tool from your first scenario:

C:\build>\test-install\wsjtx-dev\Release64\bin\udp_daemon.exe -g 239.255.0.1
Discovered WSJT-X instance: WSJT-X - test v2.3.0-devel (fcc5df)
WSJT-X - test: Dial frequency changed to 3574000
WSJT-X - test: Mode changed to MSK144
WSJT-X - test: Dial frequency changed to 50260000
WSJT-X - test: Mode changed to FT8
WSJT-X - test: Dial frequency changed to 50313000
WSJT-X - test: Dial frequency changed to 1840000
WSJT-X - test: Mode changed to MSK144

Continuing with your second scenario I see:

Removed WSJT-X instance: WSJT-X - test
Discovered WSJT-X instance: WSJT-X - test v2.3.0-devel (fcc5df)
WSJT-X - test: Mode changed to JT9A
WSJT-X - test: Mode changed to MSK144
WSJT-X - test: Dial frequency changed to 1840000
WSJT-X - test: Dial frequency changed to 145000000
WSJT-X - test: Dial frequency changed to 1840000
WSJT-X - test: Mode changed to FT8
WSJT-X - test: Dial frequency changed to 3573000
WSJT-X - test: Mode changed to MSK144

All the mode and frequency changes are faithfully reported by UDP status messages.

Hi Bill,

I have updated and tested my program and I can programmatically change the value in the band box to 50.260 and thereby have WSJT-X issue the CAT command to the radio and switch to the correct frequency.

However, I ran into a problem where if I then switch back to FT8, drop down to a low HF band and then switch again to MSK144, there is no indication being given through UDP status message that the mode was changed. If I then shutdown WSJT-X while still in MSK144, then start it back up, switch to FT8 move to a lower HF band and then switch back to MSK144, there is no UDP Traffic indicating a mode change. If on the other hand, I switch to FT8 and to a lower HF Band, before shutting down WSJT-X, start it up again, switch to MSK144, I do received the UDP Status message indicating a mode change. It seems that the mode change indication happens only once if you are not on the appropriate MSK144 frequency. Anyway, I hope this information helps.

Hi Bill,

Thank you very much for this thoughtful explanation regarding band changes in WSJT-X. As I mentioned, I instructed Rich to update their document to change to 6M before selecting MSK144. I will update my program so that if it detects a frequency lower than 6M, my program will update the frequency box.50.260
Thanks again.

Sam W2JDB
