Hello, I have been playing a lot recently with PSK modes using fldigi. I have noticed that the yaesu ft-857 backend doesn't distinguish between upper and lower sideband digital mode (menu item 38). This causes lot of trouble on bands where USB is used (when QSY button is pressed in fldigi, or when calculating the real QSO frequency). With some use of undocumented CAT features and some research I have put together small patch, that reads EEPROM data. When SW asks hamlib what mode is being used, hamlib will also consider the value from eeprom. When changing the mode in the menu, new value will become available in the EEPROM _after_ pressing the "FUNC" button. Setting mode from SW is left untouched, as writing to EEPROM is potentially dangerous (and I don't feel like destroying my rig, yet) Michal |
