[Hamlib-developer] Fwd: [WSJTX] OOB and frequency shifted on display #CAT #Cat_RigControl #frequency

[Adrian <vk...@gm...>]

Developers, FYI concerning an issue with FT-847 selection in wsjtx, 
which is problematic, vs fine operation in MSHV, which does not use hamlib.

Please see below;

Yes MSHV , has its own CAT instruction defined, i.e; in source code

For a few years my setup consiting of a Yaesu FT-847 controlled via CAT 
worked just fine. All of a sudden I get "OOB" and when tuned on 20 
Meters, the display on the WSJTX shows 407.400 010. So this seems to be 
a character (or bit) shift (the "1" is missing in front) Hans anyone 
experienced that before? Thank you all and 73 -- HB9HJY "
