Using other than CAT1 to control HobbyPCB Amps Band Switching #430

Closed devmrs closed 4 months ago

devmrs commented 4 months ago

I have a HobbyPCB Hardrock-500. It works fine with Cat control AS LONG AS IT IS IN CAT1 control. The Cat option "Kenwood AI" must be checked. I also have a Hardrock-50 amp that uses the same cat control as the Hardrock-500. I put the HR50 in Cat4. No go. The HR50 only switches bands when in Cat1 Control. I'm using the HR50 as a bandpass filter for my Hermes SDR. I would like to control both amps but the only amp I can control is the one in CAT1 -- nowhere else. Is this because the Kenwood AI checkbox only affects CAT1?

As a workaround, I purchased Fabulatech.com Serial Port Splitter to allow Cat 1 Control to control two devices. image

yes the code only sends/broadcasts Kenwood messages on CAT1 and through the TCP/IP cat server. We can look at changing this at some point
