Re: CAT port returns ` ` ` on QCXmini

Hi Jerry
Yes, QCX has a timeout. You can't type a command in one character at a time at human speed. You need to prepare the command elsewhere, then copy-and-paste it in so that all the characters are sent one after another, and the timeout doesn't get triggered.?
The?Arduino serial monitor is almost entirely YUCK but the one thing that is good, is that you get to type in the whole command at human speed, and it doesn't get sent to the device until you click the send button, then it gets sent all in one go.?
Sometimes there's a inter-character timeout on the cat. I know
the 991 has that...

Actually I just tried it with
FLRIG and it has a "Send" function where you type in the
string and hit send.? When I did that the QCX returned a
single (`).? Also commands like FA; and FA28074000; also
returned the same symbol.? So something else is wrong with it.

don't understand.? Are you perhaps saying that
typing the command and then enter on Putty just
won't work because of the way Putty sending the
characters before hitting enter?? ?Maybe there's
just a setting somewhere that I need to change??

Jerry, you can’t send characters one at a
time to the mini, that why you are seeing the
‘ reply. you have to put the whole command
together and send it as a block.
