Tony you may need to modify things a bit as this entry is for the Elecraft K2 so I would not necessarily expect it to work as is for the TS-2000.
In particular the TS-2000 may need EOF to be set to something other than (0), try EOF(200) to start with. There should be NO line breaks in the middle of the commands, Each command needs to be on one full line. Your e-mail client may have spilt the commands into two lines. Also make sure you have word wrap turned off in notepad or notepad will spit the lines for you. Command strings on more than 1 line will not work. If you want to send me just the extract from your radios.ini file for the ts2000 I may be able to help. 73 Brendan EI6IZ At 23:20 28/12/2002 -0500, Tony Cash wrote: >Brendon, >Sorry but no cigar. >This inserted into my Radios.ini file (in place of the TS-2000 portion) >only causes the TS-2000 to blink at me when clicking on a spot. >No frequency change, no mode change on either VFO. >Back to the drawing board. >I do have a version of the Radios.ini file that I am now testing and so far >it is working fine (hope it keeps it up) > >73 de Tony, KD4K > >My Weather Page >http://home.adelphia.net/~tonycash/ >My Ham Radio Page >http://home.adelphia.net/~tonycash/kd4k/radio.html >Sawnee Mountain (WB4GQX 147.15 +.600) Repeater Page >http://home.adelphia.net/~tonycash/sawnee/index.html > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Brendan Minish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Phil ON4VP" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> >Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2002 10:54 AM >Subject: Re: [DXBase] Kenwood TS-2000 users. > > > > I may have the answer to this one. > > > > DXB 2003 sends the mode before the frequency when setting the radio, in > > some radios (like the elecraft k2 which uses the kenwood command set) that > > remember last used mode on a per band basis, this will on occasion cause > > the wrong mode to be set because the software sets the VFO mode on the >band > > it is just LEAVING (hence the U in CW) and tunes to the new band with > > whatever mode was last used on that band. > > > > Some radios apparently need the commands sent in this order so it's not > > really a bug. > > > > The fix is easy, you simply have to include the mode set command at the >end > > of the frequency set line and set the mode set command to Null, the mode > > set command is never sent to the radio without also setting the frequency > > so including the mode set Command in the VFO set line won't break >anything. > > > > Here is an extract from my file for the Elecraft K2 It may need some > > modifying for the TS2000 but hopefully you get the idea. > > showing how I have configured the radios.ini file to make it work >correctly > > with the K2 > > > > > > SelectVFOA= eoc(100) asc( "FR0;" ) eoc(0) > > SetVFOA= asc( "FA" ) dec( %vfoa,11 ) asc( ";" ) asc("MD") dec( %mode,1) >asc > > ( ";" ) eoc(0) > > GetVFOA= asc("FA;") rrs(14) eoc(0) > > PrsVFOA= asc("FA") dec(%vfoa,11) asc(";") eoc(0) > > > > SelectVFOB= eoc(0) > > SetVFOB= asc( "FB" ) dec( %vfob,11 ) asc( ";" ) eoc(0) > > GetVFOB= asc("FB;") rrs(14) eoc(0) > > PrsVFOB= asc("FB") dec(%vfob,11) asc(";") eoc(0) > > > > SetMode= eoc(0) > > GetMode= asc( "IF;" ) rrs(38) eoc(0) > > PrsMode= asc("IF") dec(%dummy,27) dec(%mode,1) dec(%dummy,7) asc(";") >eoc(0) > > > > I have put the entire K2 file at the very bottom of this e-mail for > > reference, NOTE there are no line breaks in the middle of lines. > > The K2 runs very happily here with pacing set to 1 and EOC(0) which makes > > for very fast responses to commands, Perhaps the ts200 can use similar >fast > > timings as it sure speeds things up. > > > > The eoc(100) in the first line > > SelectVFOA= eoc(100) asc( "FR0;" ) eoc(0) > > cures a 'radio not responding ' problem that crops up sometimes under >win2k > > on my machines. > > > > > > 73 > > Brendan EI6IZ > > > > At 07:31 22/12/2002 +0100, Phil ON4VP wrote: > > >same here Tony, also having the two 'U's sent but mode not changed. > > >here intel PIII/1000, 512 Mb, XP pro, radio on com 2 > > > > > >Phil ON4VP > > > > > >----- Original Message ----- > > >From: "Tony Cash" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >To: "Al Bailey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> > > >Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 6:07 AM > > >Subject: Re: [DXBase] Kenwood TS-2000 users. > > > > > > > > > > I just tried your exact spot and baud between computer and the radio > > > > and it DOES NOT work here.
