You need to add ATT 5 after the ELSE statement as well!

i add the att 5 after that and it still will not switch to the other frequency any more suggestions will be welcome


 

Hello Robby,

Try adding "USB" in the second radio statement - RADIO 7.100 USB assuming you are staying on USB.

Looks like you need a detach, and a pause prior to the next attach.

Not sure of the exact format but...

I also changes/added USB-D to put the radio into usb digital mode, if that works...
May not be necessary to detach and reattach... trial and error or someone else will know for sure.

If you have a yaesu 857d using a digrig mobile sound card this is what work for me to get it to change frequencies?
TIMES 0000-2359
ATT 5
RADIO 7.0945 USB?
C (callsign)
ELSE
PAUSE 20
ATT 5
RADIO 7.100 USB?
C (callsign)

beaware that using USB-D doesn’t work for my station but could work at your station?

This is the problem:

240902 00:05:33 >AD5EO???? Attach 5
240902 00:05:33 <AD5EO???? TEXHUB:AA5AF-7} Error - TNC Not Ready

I've not seen that before. Do you have "Restart TNC after? failure" set in VARA Status window action menu?

Robby,

IF you see that you may need more around 30 second pause between to get around the TNC not ready. I think in some cases I worked out that 30 was an ideal number. That was what I noticed that TNC not ready message most of the time here.

I have seen this before, most likely when I am trying to call someone using two different modem types on the same radio/interlock ports. It seemed to me that when the connection attempt timed out that to release interlock so the next in the script would work worked best with a 30 second gap. Also it probably gives your modems more time to determine the frequency's busy state.

Hi Mark
just to mention. Ka0pnd and myself were able to successfully install a dra-50 and Dra-52 into Bpq. The use of Soundmodem helped in calibration. We also used the current bpq installer. I hear some are having problems there. We did not go beta, but as an amateur experimenter I surly wanted to? (Humor)
?I don’t think this was too far off topic??
my paths are now ka9pnd, k5dat, m5mdt. This is just the beginning.

I just recently ran into a situation where I needed to do the same thing, i.e. change frequencies via ELSE. I tend to use 30 second pauses whenever something fails and has to move on with an ELSE, so things worked for me right off the bat. I think I see why at least a 20 second pause is needed. After a failed attempt to connect using the first frequency, a detach evidently happens automatically, and there's a delay before scanning resumes. I expect it's the same delay seen when a detach is done manually. It looks like the script needs to pause in order to allow scanning to resume. What's after the ELSE essentially starts over, so things need to be back to square one, i.e. back to scanning, before attaching again. That's what it looks like to me, anyway.
