TRX Mode Data From Yaesu FTdx3000

Hello,

I am running Cqrlog Ver:2.5.2 (001) Date:2021-02-12 and Hamlib 4.5.4 Jan 10 01:31:41Z 2023 with a Yaesu FTdx3000. CQRLog rig preferences are set to rig 1037 for the 3000. Communication is established as I get radio frequency populated in the new QSO window. The problem is the mode does not populate correctly when Auto is checked. Debugging indicates the CQRLog is requesting "fmv" for frequency, mode and VFO. The radio returns this alternating:

Sending: fmv

Msg from rig: 14270000
Msg from rig: USB
2400
Msg from rig: Main
Sending: fmv

Msg from rig: 14270000
USB
2400
Main

So, the rig returns the correct frequency, mode, bandwidth and uses "Main" for VFO. The radio returns "Sub" if VFO B is selected. This places "Main" in CQRLog's Mode field. Just in case it would help, going into Preferences, Modes and changing all Bandwidth fields to 0 does not change anything. I seem to get correct mode if I select the FT-950 as that rig returns "VFOA" or "VFOB" instead of Main or Sub. I am just re-starting back into Ham radio, so I don't know yet if I would get incorrect data with a more involved QSO (split, etc).

Also, is there any way for a user of CQRLog to modify the logging program? It would be nice if power out could be read from the rig, too. Sending "l RFPOWER" returns the power out in decimal value: (f.e. 50 watts returns 0.500000).

Thanks,

Paul, N9GXA

HI Paul!

HI Paul!

That is not implemented in 2.5.2(001) but CqrlogAlpha has that property:

You can change the source with Lazarus-IDE but it might be that you need more changes than what is in picture because uRigcontrol.pas is mostly rewritten in CqrlogAlpha compared to 2.5.2.

RFPOWER is not implemented yet even in Alpha. It seems that my IC7300 returns always 0 (zero) even when transmit in full power , less power or receiving.
This one needs more carefull look.
