All, I just uploaded SVN1355 that implements a lot of changes in the way the serial data is buffered and how CAT KY commands are handled. Serial buffering is now done a in a large ring buffer and seems to work fine with all the 3rd party programs I tried it with (DXLab, HRD, and N1MM).
The other change is in the coding to handle canned messages sent from DXLab Winwarbler (or a text file as far as that's concerned). The way the Kenwood CAT command KY works leaves a lot to be desired; I overcame MOST of the problems but one (that I know of!) still remains and may not have a (reasonable) solution. When sending long messages (more than 24 characters) you may get an extra space occasionally. This is random and has to do with how each series of KY commands (remember, each KY can only handle 24 characters) is received into the incoming buffer. The extra space will always fall within a word. An example: If you send "NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR PARTY" it may be sent as: "NOW IS THE TIME F OR ALL GOOD........". The KS command is now funtional, you can set or read the cw speed of the CWX module (only) by sending either KS; (returns the speed as KS025;) or set the speed by sending KS030;. I will update the CAT dictionary as soon as I can. I've tested the KY command from 5 to 50 WPM and with messages up to 75 characters. Now, it's your turn. Let me know if you find any problems. 73, Bob K5KDN _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
