Locked Mode Change in split operation


IU1JVO
 

Hello,

I noticed a strange behavior of WSJT-X on my FT-911A. I'm not sure if is a bug or only a my error.

WSJT-X software is configured, in Radio Page with:
-) Cat operation port (test work ok)
-) PTT Method = CAT.
-) Mode: Data/Pkt
-) Split Operation: Rig

When I select a band in the dropdown menu, WSJT-X software configure Rig with the correct Frequency and Mode for VFO-A only. In VFO-B only the frequency is set, i need to manual set the mode, if is different from DATA-USB.

Hi OM,

the mode of VFO B should be set just before the first transmission. Are you saying that it doesn't do that for you?

Hi OM,
NO, It Does not.
It set correctly the VFO A but not the VFO B.
Initially, I did not understand why, when the rig went in transmission, the power and ALC meter was zero. Then I saw that the mode for VFO-A was correctly set to D-USB, but the mode for VFO-B was still set to LSB.
To resolve I copyed VFO-A to VFO-B, then at next transmission, WSJTX reset the frequency and transmit on-air.

Hi OM,

you saying that it doesn't do that for you?

Are you using HRD  rig control ?  if so.. don't ..    connect WSJT-Z directly to the radio...        or use fake it..

Hi,
The rig is already directly connected to WSJT-X.
Is not a real problem, I need to set the VFO-B to the correct mode before. Then WSJT-X connected to the rig, set time by time the frequency needed.

Thanks.

Hi Giuliano,

what rig do you have, and what settings do you have in WSJT-X on the left hand side of the "Settings->Radio" panel?

Hi Bill,

My Rig is FT-911A. De Settings are:

PTT Method: CAT
Mode: Data/Pkt
Split Operation: Rig

VFO-A mode is correcly changed from previosly set (LSB) but not the VFO-B set, that did remain LSB.
