switch to the last frequency I was using, as it may have been on 
another band.  If all I want to do is change from fast JT9E mode

the mode and change to the proper area of the band even though the 
'return to freq' box is NOT checked.


Does that make sense. 


Hi Neil,

there are users that do not want WSJT-X to grab the rig and change 
frequency just because they have started the application, for example 
they may be mid-QSO on a different band. The settings options allow 
users to decide what happens when WSJT-X starts. Note that switching 
configurations is exactly the same as starting WSJT-X, no information is 
carried over from the last configuration.


If you want to be in control of the rig frequency and when it changes 
then set WSJT-X not to do it automatically on start up and either engage 
"Monitor" yourself when you want WSJT-X to set the rig or use the band 
drop down to get he rig set up for the band you wish to work on.

Hi Neil,

I know you want to stick with Commander and I do have sympathy with
you on that, I use DX Lab Suite myself and I have foregone Commander
when using the fast modes and FT8.

Can you try, just for a test, changing your configurations to use
direct rig control and see if the problem still happens. You will
have to close Commander before starting WSJT-X.

Hi Bill,

OK I switched from Commander to the K3/KX3 settings in WSJT-X on both
configurations, closing the program in the FT8 configuration.I
reopen the program, it starts in 20M at the FT8 freq.   I move to 40M,
it changes properly, I then switch to the default (JT65/JT9) config,
and the frequency does not change from the FT8 frequency.I have to
select 40M in order to get the 7.076 freq for jt65/jt9.

Does this help?

Neil, KN3ILZ

Did a build to bring my program up to r7782, works the same. Switch
config to the FT8 one, changes the freq.   Switch back to the default
(JT65/JT9) configuration, no change in frequency.As I mentioned
before, it appears that on the switch from the default to the saved
config for FT8, the system verifies the mode and makes the change.
Going back to the default it doesn't.

I can live with it, but should it do that ??

Hi Dan,

I went back over all the settings, and decided to make a separate 
configuration rather than use the default.Cloned a new version, 
checked all the proper settings, and its working now switching the 
settings to the proper frequency.  Not sure what was with that 
'default' config, but thanks for that tip.

To reproduce:

1.   Change to a different configuration.  The system does not reset 
the frequency.

2.   Re-select band, program changes frequency.
3.  Change to a different configuration.   The system does not reset 
the frequency.

4.  Re-select the mode from the mode menu, program changes frequency.

I'm thinking that there's no command sent to the radio to change the 
frequency from the last setting.   I'm using DX Commander connected 
to a KX3, controlling frequencies and tranmission. 


Hi Neil,

Have you reset the working frequencies table since building with FT8 
support or added some working frequencies for the bands you are using?




Yes, that was the first thing I did.  As an aside, it may be a good idea 
to add in the manual that when upgrading from a previous version to 
reset the frequencies when in FT8 mode, as I found out the hard way 
about doing that.




As a side note, I would not recommend using Commander as a rig control 
intermediary with FT8 mode, it does not process CAT commands fast 
enough to switch between Rx and Tx promptly and you will have 
truncated Tx messages. Truncated Tx messages will reduce the 
likelihood your messages being decoded.




I followed that thread with Dave, and have been adjusting the Commander 
settings for my KX3. I really would hate to have to include rig 
control changes in any configuration for FT8 .

configuration for JT65/JT9 slow modes, and the FT8 configuration. 


Hi Neil,

I forgot to mention that the two options in WSJT-X "Settings->General" 
"Monitor off at startup" and "Monitor returns to last used frequency" 
control what happens when you start WSJT-X. Switching configurations is 
equivalent to starting WSJT-X again.

I already have two configurations setup for use.  The 'normal' 
configuration for JT65/JT9 slow modes, and the FT8 configuration.


To reproduce:

1.   Change to a different configuration.  The system does not reset 
the frequency.

2.   Re-select band, program changes frequency.
3.  Change to a different configuration.   The system does not reset 
the frequency.

4.  Re-select the mode from the mode menu, program changes frequency.

I'm thinking that there's no command sent to the radio to change the 
frequency from the last setting.   I'm using DX Commander connected to 
a KX3, controlling frequencies and tranmission. 


Hi Neil,

Have you reset the working frequencies table since building with FT8 
support or added some working frequencies for the bands you are using?


As a side note, I would not recommend using Commander as a rig control 
intermediary with FT8 mode, it does not process CAT commands fast enough 
to switch between Rx and Tx promptly and you will have truncated Tx 
messages. Truncated Tx messages will reduce the likelihood your messages 
being decoded.

Hi Jordan,

that sounds like a different issue from the one that Neil is reporting. 
Are you switching configurations from "Menu->Configurations" to switch 
between FT8 and other modes?


Have you reset the suggested working frequencies list since building a 
version with FT8? If not then you probably need to or add some 
frequencies for FT8 to the "Settings->Frequencies->Working Frequencies" 
table. WSJT-X can only select a frequency for a mode and band if there 
is one set up.

[wsjt-devel] Frequency doesn't shift when changing configurations

2017-07-03 Thread Neil Zampella 
Didn't see this reported, so I don't know if this is normal, a bug, or 
just not tested.


Switching configurations from what I have setup for FT8 to the 'normal' 
JT65/JT9 setup, the frequency does not move from the FT8 to the JT modes 
frequency.  This also occurs going the other way. The only way to reset 
the frequency is to either re-select the mode from the mode menu where 
its already set in the saved configuration, or re-select the band from 
the drop down.


I already have two configurations setup for use.  The 'normal' 
configuration for JT65/JT9 slow modes, and the FT8 configuration.


To reproduce:

1.   Change to a different configuration.  The system does not reset the 
frequency.

2.   Re-select band, program changes frequency.
3.  Change to a different configuration.   The system does not reset the 
frequency.

4.  Re-select the mode from the mode menu, program changes frequency.
