When starting External Radio, it starts with 7 Mhz


Kees van Engelen
 

Hello,

When I start External Radio, this starts with 7.000 Mhz.
I expected it to start at the (synced) frequency of the radio it connects with.
Very annoying when I tune SDRC after that a bit, it puts the radio also to 7 MHz.
When I tune the radio a bit then SDRC will follow.
Anyone an idea?

What's the radio? Sounds like the virtual serial cable isn't setup correctly.

It's Yaesu FTDx101D.
When I use it on SDR Console v2, it works ok .......

I stopped the service of the Virtual Serial Port, with the same effect.

Version 2 is showing RIG2, v3 isn't.

Toggling between the two RIGs (Rig1 -> Rig2 -and back- on External Radio) doesn't display the then chosen RIG.
That too works ok in v2.

Not a big thing, but a very strange one :-)

Do you have a 2 VFO radio? What is the freq. in the other VFO?

Hey Calder,

You're very right!
That VFO is on 7 MHz and the symptom goes along with that frequency.
Strangest thing is that the VFO is not active, even that RX (2 of them in the 101) is off.
So I have to puzzle out, why it's reading the "wrong" (SUB) VFO in OMNIRIG, but acts on the MAIN VFO when moving the knob there.

Thank you !

But leaves me with the difference in v2 and v3......

@Simon:

I found that in version2, the Omnirig of the Sub VFO is not supported, and in version3 it works, but with the initial start of the SUB VFO, instead of the MAIN VFO
Both use the same Omnirig version.

Well, I found the "problem".
When using CAT on USB (virtual), it will work OK.
When using CAT on RS232 port, then I have this anomaly.
I used in on a RS232 physical port.

I can live with that. Still it's strange :-)

It is my guess that when SDRC starts it looks for and reads both VFO's. VFO "B" is read last and that becomes the starting VFO. I do believe this is a job for Simon.

I 'Think' you can even trace that happening in the event log.

But why the difference between CAT and Virtual serial ports?
