Re: QDX CAT Control Issue?


 

I see also there appears to be a dropped a ¡®4¡¯ in the VFO.A statement:

VFO.A 707000

Which is probably why the frequency gets shifted bt a factor of 10?

Hi Ryan, Hans,

I think I captured this frequency setting error today in?WSJT-X. The file ttached is a log file showing the CAT command error where the WSJT-X frequency gets confused. I had started a transmission in WSJT-X and the frequency?went OOB,?like it was devided by a factor of 10.? From the CAT log file, it looks like two FA statements?got inadvertently?jammed together,?or something like that. Here is the error:

RX;
VFO.A 707000
FA0000707FA000ID;
ERR: Band
RX;

when it should be more like this:
RX;
VFO.A 7074000
FA00007074000;
ID; ID020;

It's not a frequent occurrence?from what I could see. My system information:
  1. What?OS you are running: Windows 10
  2. What QDX firmware version you are running: latest 1.01b
  3. Whether you built the QDX for 12V operation (output transformer 3:2) or for 9V operation (output transformer 3:3): 9 Volt
  4. What power supply you are using: battery to 9V linear regulator to QDX
  5. Rev 1 PCB.?
  6. Built exactly as described in the manual
Cheers,
Gregg W7GRM

Today I went into the console interface and turned on CAT logging so I can get some more data.?

@Karl, it looks normal there- the QDX starts up on an out of bounds frequency, I'm assuming so that it doesn't even accidentally start transmitting. I consider this a security blanket, since I have to manually set the frequency when I'm ready to operate. My finals feel safer that way ;-)?

I'll report back when I have data to share.
