Hi Mike
Thanks, I have Ubitx manager running on my winXP machine now and have successfully made my Callsign change. It would be nice if the Startup Display were to stay on a bit longer though, particularly because it shows the Firmware version - or can the Firmware version be easily displayed once the uBITx is running?
One oddity is that when I enable RIT it displays TX frequency (RIT Tx) incorrectly, although the correct value is used for TX (I am using Mode=CWL and I monitor my TX frequency using an RF sniffer, which has also been confirmed by the RBN). The RIT Tx is always displayed 900Hz high, being 200Hz higher than my RX frequency (ie I am tuned to 700Hz above a contact's carrier to get the readable audio tone). I haven't figured out the logic of the code yet to see how it is happening: at first glance it looks OK, since line 614 of "ubitx_menu" is "ritEnable(frequency)".
So I did an experiment. I changed "ubitx_menu" line 614 to "ritEnable(frequency-900)". Upon restarting the uBITx I found displayed RX and TX frequencies for RIT were what I expected, but the ACTUAL transmit frequency was not, being 900Hz low. When I then disabled RIT the displayed RX frequency had been decreased by 900Hz. I'm not sure what the actual receive frequency was at that point, but clearly that was not a solution to the problem so I changed the code back again!
Incidentally, by swapping the positions of RIT and Band Set in the Main Menu I now find the operating procedure for CW works much better for me. Once tuned into a station I wish to call (ie tuned to give a 700Hz tone), I simply have to double-press the menu button to enable RIT and can immediately make any RX tuning adjustments during the QSO without changing my TX frequency. This has made my CW operation 1000% easier. The only issue is that the incorrect TX frequency is being displayed - I just have to remember it's 900Hz high, but it would be good to get that sorted out!
Does all this make sense to you?
Chris
