Re: k4 TEXT DECODE


 

+ AA6YQ comments below
Trying to set some slider controls.? I have the set for AF and RFG both main and sub.? Now trying to do a button for text decode.

Tried TD$/; to toggle....nothing happens.
Tried TD/; nothing happens.
Tried TD$223;? nothing...
tried TD223;? nothing.

Radio is in CW mode.

According to the K4 programmer's guide this should work.

+ Here's what version C13 of the K4 programming manual says about the TD$ command:

TD$ (Text Decode/Encode Mode)

SET/RESP format: TD$mtl; where is m the text-decode mode; t is the text-decode threshold (where applicable); and is l the number of received text lines to display.
Per-operating-mode details below.

CW text decode mode: 0=off, 1=TX only (N/A at present), 2=RX 8 to 45 WPM, 3=RX 8 to 60 WPM, 4=RX 8 to 90 WPM.
CW threshold settings: 0=AUTO, 1-9=fixed levels.

DATA text decode modes: 0=off, 1=on. Threshold setting: N/A.

SSB encode mode (2-tone): 0=2-TONE off, 1=on. Threshold setting: N/A

+ Of the 4 commands you report trying, only the third is valid; the 2nd and 4th are missing the $, and the 1st includes a /, which is not valid.

+ The TD$223; command is only valid when your K4's mode is set to CW. I'd try generating it from a user-defined command sequence, not a slider. You can use Commander's Messages window to confirm that you are sending the desired command and to see what your K4 sends in response.
