Blocking a band on QMX/QMX+


 

I would like to block out the bands I don’t use.?

I asked this once before but never got an answer on how to do it if it is possible.?
That would make moving though the bands I do use much easier and faster.?

TIA

Larry,

I'm fairly certain that you delete them from the band list seen in terminal mode.
Manual should help.

Larry,

I believe that you can “enable/disable” bands using Putty terminal mode and the “band configuration” menu.


 

Hi Larry

Cuurrently the only way is to reconfigure your band configuration screen to delete the bands you don't want.?

In future I will add a toggle so that a band can still be in band configuration but can be disabled so that double clicking band change skips over it. It's already on my list.?

Hans?
Thank you for your answer.?
I will wait for the time that change is in a firmware update.?
I know you have more important items to keep you busy.?

Larry,

???? An old post to this forum (that I can't find now)?recommended that in the PuTTY Band Configuration screen, you change the band's "Band Name" to 0 (zero).? I've done this and it works.? It eliminates the band when you switch the band switch from the front panel.

I want to do the exact opposite of this. I want to be able to use my QMX+ on all bands, especially the upper bands. However there are no values listed for bands higher than 20m in the Band Configuration menu. That is why I asked what the ideal values should be on 6, 10 and 15m but could not get any answer so far.

Bekir, it sounds like you may have your radio configured as an 80-20 meter QMX instead of as a 160-6 meter QMX+.?

Nope. It is configured for 160-6 but there are no values listed in the manual under Putty's Band Configuration menu, except for 5 bands. Seeing the post on how to block certain bands, I am concerned my rig will not work on the unlisted bands.

The screen scrolls to the higher bands.
Move the cursor across to the right and keep going.


 

Ah! Great info. Thanks a lot.

Open the band configuration screen with Putty. Use the right arrow to move to the right. When you get to 20 Meters another right arrow press will scroll the window so you can see the next band.?
