Investigate IF Shift on K3 and K4 #541

Closed ny4i closed 2 years ago

ny4i commented 2 years ago

We have reports that the K3 will shift the IF frequency on occasion. It is not clear what is causing this but this is a place to track research into the issue.

To see if the program is sending something strange, use the DEBUG LOG LEVEL CTRL-J config item. The code is already in MASTER to dump the data sent to the radio.Set it to DEBUG and you should get something like this in tr4w.log (in the program directory).

The log should produce something like this:

The IS 9999; command does reset the IF to center on the K4. My K3 is not hooked backup yet.

n4af commented 2 years ago

good enuff. next question-- can DEBUG TRACE pick it up ??

Tks, Howie

Let me confirm the debug is right before we send to the serial port (and there is only one place we do). Otherwise, I will add some code to log there too.

ny4i commented 2 years ago

Refresh my memory. Is this what should be in the CFG file to send this to the radio?

CQ CW MEMORY F12=<03>SRSIS 9999;<04>
CQ CW MEMORY F12 CAPTION=IF Cntr
n4af commented 2 years ago

close but not quite. u need the srs'='

CQ CW MEMORY CONTROLF1=<03>SRS=IS 9999;<04>

Issue #543 logs this properly. I saw the IS 9999; Now all data we send to the radio is logged with TRACE. Use TRACE instead of DEBUG.

I used Notepad++ and search for the string "Calling WriteFile to write" in current document to list them all.

BTW, I did not put the *SRS and it works OK.

The following works fine:

CQ CW MEMORY F11=<03>SRS=RC;<04>
CQ CW MEMORY F11 CAPTION=CLR RIT
CQ CW MEMORY F12=<03>SRS=IS 9999;<04>
CQ CW MEMORY F12 CAPTION=IF Cntr
n4af commented 2 years ago

it seems to work. u ready 4 me to ask Marv to run 4.105.8 TRACE ?

I cannot recall if Marv still has the IF Shift issue?

n4af commented 2 years ago

I think this can be closed.
