Erroneous Setting Changes on an MT44B

 

I am experiencing a problem changing the settings in an MTT4B. We have a number of these and all have been working well.
?
Problem I am having now is changing the settings on a unit so it can be moved to a different site. I am successfully?connecting to the MTT4B using TeraTerm 4.105 in Win 10 and a TT3 cable in the 2.5mm port. I can read the current settings? by using the DISPLAY command.
When I change a setting using the XXXXXIS Command for some setting this works for other such as MYCALL & LOCATION the setting is not accepted and an erroneous setting is created which then can not be corrected.
?
Here is an example:
MYCALL is VK2RWK-1
MYCALL was ISVK2R
MYCALL is ISVK2R-1
?
Any suggestions on what may be causing?this??

Compton,

I would try using the RESTORE command first, which will reset the default options ( Note that these will include the North American frequency) and try to reenter the settings. If that does not work, try reloading the firmware. If you have another PC to try it with, its worth a shot too.

Thanks, looks like RESTORE fixed it.
I saved a copy of the file before I started fiddling so will now just have to update all the settings to get it working how we need it.

What do you mean by "When I change a setting using the XXXXXIS Command"?
There is no " XXXXXIS" command or "XXXXX is {Callsign}" command.
The format should be: COMMAND VALUE?????????????? (no 'is')
?? MYCALL VK2RWK-1

The MTT4B will reply with
? MYCALL is VK2RWK-1
? MYCALL was ISVK2R

If you read all the settings with DISPLAY, the result is not usable to send "back to" the MTT4B.
You must use the EXPORT command (this shows the same information without the word "is" between COMMAND and VALUE.

BTW, I'd skip the RESTORE unless you have just updated the firmware, or have some really strange settings.
Use EXPORT, and save to a file.? Edit the file (make sure there is only a single space between COMMAND VALUE), the send the "edited" file back to the MTT4B.? Everything should work after that.
Hope this helps!

Yes, I know. It was my abreviated way of saying something like? "If I try to use any of the valid commands".
Anyway its all fixed and restore worked as per my post before your.
Thanks for helping with information, could be useful next time
