Hi,
I am using WSJT-X together with my Yaesu FT-991. Everything works fine so far, including CAT Control either direct via serial port or with OmniRig in between. However, using WSJT-X's band selector for me is somewhat problematic, as it only switches frequency at my rig but not mode, ATU on/off and so on. I would need these information per band (especially ATU on or off). With my SSTV software (MMSSTV) I can/must specify the CAT commands for switching the frequencies by myself, but can save them individually. For example for switching to 20m SSTV I am using the CAT command "MD0C;FA014230000;AC000;". "MD0C" switches my FT-991 to DATA-USB mode, "FA014230000;" sets the frequency and "AC000;" switches the antenna tuner off. As I need the ATU on some bands, for those bands I saved commands ending with "AC001;". Works perfect. So, my question is: Is there any way to generate/save user-specific CAT commands in WSJT-X? In case it is not yet possible: Wouldn't that be something for the wish list? Implementation in user interface could be done easily at the Frequencies tab of Settings. Either as a new separate table after Station information, or maybe even simply by adding one more column "User-specific CAT commands" to the existing Station information table. Likely, it is only needed to specify the ADDITIONAL user-specific information needed when changing band, like in my case "MD0C;AC000;", because "FA014074000;" is already generated by the built-in CAT control. After a band change, WSJT-X would the send a combination of the standard command for frequency change plus that user-specific CAT command. (As default fields for user-specific CAT commands shall be empty.) 73 de DG2YCB, Uwe ____________________________________ German Amateur Radio Station DG2YCB Dr. Uwe Risse eMail: <mailto:dg2...@gmx.de> dg2...@gmx.de Info: <http://www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB> www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB
