Hi Mike,
Ok, hope all goes smoothly. If you ever (I doubt it) need any info, please don't hesitate to ask. 73, Sam W2JDB

It's a bit of a major change since there's no polling inside hamlib right now but that may change too.

Hi Mike,
That sounds good.
I also set transceive ('1a05007101') on and use Cmd x'00' and x'01' to accept
unsolicited Frequency and Mode changes for the selected VFO. That relieved
the need to read the selected VFO during the poll cycle. Seems to work extremely well.
Don't know how that will complicate your code.

I added some change just a couple of weeks ago that completely implements this and we don't see any VFO swapping anymore on WSJTX or JTDX.
So it will be in the next release of each of those.

Hi Gene,
I would never swear to it, but I do know how its supposed to work as I wrote
my own interface for the IC7300 for my home brewed logging program.
For the IC7300 I used the new CAT cmds x'25' & x'26' and their respective sub cmds
to change the frequency and mode on the selected as well as for unselected VFO
without resorting to toggling the VFOs.
When I interfaced my program to the Xeigu G90 and X5105, I had to
resort to toggling the VFOs to read and set the unselected VFO's
Anyway I hope you can resolve the issue one way or another.

VFO frequency.
It is a 7300 about 4 months old with the latest firmware. But something causing a delay would make sense. So the software is sending a command to ultimately change VFO B but due to a delay (or something) the radio is still on A and that frequency gets changed. Then during a regular poll the software sees the changed A frequency and acts the same way as if I had just changed the frequency manually. Gene NG1H
