Barry asked for the ability to display AGC parameters. These values are currently read by accessing menus and reading them from the VFO A display area. During that menu access, another application might send an UP or DN command, which could change one of the AGC parameters. That's my only point. New single-command queries could solve that particular issue.
I don't know the list of K3 commands that LP-Bridge blocks. I don't know how LP-Bridge uses its knowledge of what one application is doing to influence the commands permitted by another. I'm using the TelepostInc.com LPB html help page as my source of info on what LP-Bridge does. LP-Bridge offers a useful subset of the K3 Command set to many applications. But it's the LP-Bridge virtualization that these applications see, and that's different from the K3 programmer's reference command set. This is a very useful subset, but arguably insufficient for the requested application.

Barry asked for some specific information to be displayed on-screen. He was not even requesting the ability to change those items from the computer. Perhaps there could be an "extra information" command that reported the current state of various settings that are not displayed on the K3 screen but which an operator can readily change and would want to check on? I'm not sure why he wanted to see AGC configuration settings as I would not consider those to be something that is normally changed during operation. Many operators probably never change those settings. On 23/12/2009, Dick Dievendorff <die...@comcast.net> wrote: > I agree.
