Re: Trying to capture 2x16 LCD signal...

Hi Hans - This is truly exciting news that the LC CAT command can be targeted for the next firmware release.? I absolutely plan to make good use of this new feature when it becomes available.? My only follow on question is if one more CAT command could be considered to reduce power output to 1/2 or 1/4 to recreate the SWR tuning utility built into the QMX firmware now?? Thanks again for your special efforts to accommodate some edge use cases.?
It's already on my list, to provide?a way to reduce QMX output power. And in the end it the aim is that EVERYTHING that you can set on the QMX itself, or in the terminal, should be accessible also via CAT commands. The reduction in power is easy to do but, I wanted to spend some time testing if everything is OK since effectively the voltage drop goes across the Q507 power amplitude modulator transistor, which dissipates all the power. I wanted to do careful testing to make sure it doesn't mind. I believe it should be OK, after all in two-tone testing and SSB etc., this is already what happens; but I didn't quite reach the "convinced" threshold.
