PKT Button on TRX Control

I would like to see one more mode button for TRX Control. Many of the Yaesu radios have PKT, When I am in Packet mode for the digital modes, the TRX window flashed from FM to nothing back to FM.... More Annoying...

Re: PKT Button on TRX Control

Will, do you know how many HF radios have the PKT button? I am afraid that an all-purpose all-mode logger for everyone is quite impossible to create. We must have priorities. Read again the "About" section, there is clearly said that we wanted to create a feature-rich logger for the active HF DXer with the scope on the CW and SSB modes. AFAIK there are few rice boxes equipped with the PKT mode, no doubt that the CW through hamlib will have a much higher priority. How many real QSOs (without a mailbox) are there with a need to be logged in usual way, with QSL exchange etc.?

it is a feature request...

I agree... CQRLOG has done GREAT, You and have chatted off line. Most of the new Yaesu rigs (last 5 yrs) have used the PKT button as a digital mode feature. Many of the Linux world programs do not program or support true FSK keying, hence the need for PKT rather than the RTTY feature. I would not mind using RTTY, but he commands from the radio do not suppport it..

Can if be done via hamlib, sure. The other issue is, is it supported in any of the programs..
