CAT control and compatibility with Kenwood TS-480
|
I'm on the DXLog development team and struggle with implementing the drivers for the? QMX and QCX models. If I had access to them I could do reverse engineering but unfortunately I don't.?
The CAT part of the QMX/QCX documentation is not very detailed and unfortunately also? somewhat inconsistent.
Since my help desk ticket remains unanswered I am turning to this reflector.?
The challenges I face are the following:
RD/RU Is the implementation of the RD and RU commands really the same as the TS-480?? The documentation suggests otherwise. With the TS-480, RD must be followed by exactly four digits? and decreases the RIT with a certain number of hertz. RU works?the same but increases the RIT.? The QMX/QCX documentation seems to suggest RD instead sets the RIT to an absolute value and? that a sign also must be included?in the command (like with Kenwood's RF command). How does RD/RU really work with the QMX/QCX and what is the format?
FA/FB With?the?TS-480, the FA and FB commands?must be followed by exactly 11 digits.? The QMX/QCX seems to accept?a varying?length. Is this true?
IF With the TS-480, the mode field (character number 30) returns the same code as MD.? This does not seem to be the case with the QMX/QCX. Is this true?
Thank you in advance,
