I got YCAT (on Windows 10) to read my radio memory. Loaded fine into YCAT from my FT-891.
I also saved the file from YCAT. After closing and re-opening the program, all memories in YCAT were blank again. I then loaded them from the file I previously saved.

Is this expected behavior?

Eduardo,

? ?They are still in the radio.? ?You could click the "Fetch Radio Memory" button to recall from the radio.? ?I opted not to read them at power up because of the time it takes to fetch them.

? ?If it reads from memory at startup, the radio will not be in the same condition as it was when the radio / app is turned off.? ?I worried about reading from a file to initialize the application however there is no guarantee that the radio has the same program in it as the application.? ?I have several radios I use the software with.

? ?How would you like to see it work?

Best regards,

Hi Steve
I understand it since you brought up a good point. Many users have more than one radio so auto-loading the memory at start-up even if from the local hard drive file, might not be a good idea.
In this case, perhaps creating an "user profile" where all configuration and customization settings would reside might resolve the manual work for both scenarios (single or multiple radios).
For instance, after configuring all parameters, I would "save" it all under my user profile. If I had more than one radio, I could possibly name or rename each profile by the radio model.
Is this a good idea?

Eduardo,

? ?I think this is possible.? ?So when the application first starts up, or when COM port is opened, it doesn't know what radio is connected.? ?However, once the radio powers up and responds to the ID request, that would be a perfect time to load the proper file.? ?Still a margin of error (in my case - two different FT-891's) but it is better than not having everything populated.

? ?The logic to manage this is not too difficult.? I will add this to the list of new features targeted for the next release.? I assigned it ticket #? ?YCAT-0104.
