Muggs,
? ?Yes, this is a good place for feedback and comments.
? ?In regard to the FT-dx10, the hurdle is likely with RTS, by default, is enabled in the radio.? ?In YCAT, that means that FLOW CONTROL would need to be enabled.? ?
? ?Another concern would be to check to make sure the serial port in Windows that you are connecting to is listed as "enhanced" one, as viewed in Windows' Device Manager.
? ?The mouse sliders were disabled when YCAT supported the FT-710 rig.? ?I too miss that feature as well.? ?There is an oscillation as a result of the behavior on the CAT port.? When sending a CAT command to the rig, the FT-710 sends the old data but all other Yaesu rigs send back the new value.
? ?For the "click the band" button, that is controlled by the rig.? ?However, I did find memory management very useful to me, for the same reason.? ?I hold an Advanced class license and find myself occasionally drifting into Extra class portions of the band.? ?I use the stored memory pairs (P1L/P1U through P9L/P9U).? ?This puts me in a band range and I can spin the dial.? ?The VFO will stay within the boundaries I set.
? ?I have looked at VFO changes using the mouse wheel, recently made changes to scroll in 1khz and 10 khz but not individually over a digit.? ?It could be done, but will require some time to redesign the VFO display to accommodate this change.? It is in our feature tracking system:? ?YCAT-0159 - Allow VFO changes per digit using mouse scroll wheel.
? ?There are some technical issues to resolve with this, each user may have different scroll lines per wheel mouse move.? Default is 3 as I recall, but I change mine to 1.? ?What happens is that each user may have different preferences.? By default, if I hover over say 1 KHz digit and scroll one click on mouse wheel, the digit would be changed in increments of 3 KHz.? ?The message comes to the application from Windows three times.? ?These increments/decrements would have to be counted within a specific timeframe to be ignored.? ?There are complications here.
? ?I hope this helps.
Best regards,
? ?Steve
