Phil,

There is an IDD scale with a maximum of 50



Suggest you scale your 705 IDD measurement to a scale of 50.

?? ???? ??? mtr = 50.0 * mtr / 241.0;
?? ???? ??? if (mtr > 50) mtr = 50;

Then change

void cbALC_IDD_SWR()
{
?? ?switch (meter_image) {
?? ???? case ALC_IMAGE:
?? ???? ??? if (selrig->has_idd_control) {
?? ???? ??? ??? btnALC_IDD_SWR->image(image_idd25);
?? ???? ??? ??? meter_image = IDD_IMAGE;
?? ???? ??? ??? sldrIDD->show();
?? ???? ??? ??? {
?? ???? ??? ??? ??? guard_lock serial_lock(&mutex_serial, "40");
?? ???? ??? ??? ??? trace(1, "cbALC_IDD_SWR()? 2");
?? ???? ??? ??? ??? selrig->select_idd();
?? ???? ??? ??? }
?? ???? ??? ??? break;
?? ???? ??? }
?? ???? case IDD_IMAGE:

to image_idd50

Let us know if that works for you.

David

I updated to .77 and I noticed that the IDD meter is now greyed out. So, thanks. I'll have a look at what needs to be done to read IDD. It's one I occasionally use when remote operating, but might not be so useful on IC-705 where TX standing current does not register as the IC-7300 where a standing current of 3A sticks out like a sore thumb more than PO of 0W.

I've copied the get_idd() method from IC-7300 and changed the calculation to max of 4A and it seems to work. It looks like the scale maximum of 25A is fixed. Modified IC705.h and IC705.cxx attached (based on this morning's download of alpha .77).
