[WT-support] TS950SDX sub receiver freq

[Jim Fisher]

Bob,
Not being a software developer here is my guess as to how it works.
There is currently only a generic Kenwood file or lookup table or array as compared to Icom and Yaesu that seem to have one for each unique radio.
The kenwood file/table/array contains the strings that send or request data over the RS232 i/f.
My suggestion is copy the generic Kenwood file. Find all strings relating to the VFO B command string "FB00007001000" or something like this and replace the FB with FC to address the SUB VFO memory location. Save this file as Kenwood TS950 and add to the drop down selection for radio type.
Maybe some software experts can shed more light on this.

Again the reasoning behind this is
Run op is working away as normal.
Nice spot appears from cluster.
Sub rx op grabs the spot and confirms if can be heard before wasting run time by the run op QSYing to try and work something we can't hear.
Small advantage again.

  Are there any other radios besides the TS-950SDX that support the concept of three frequencies (VFO A, VFO B, and SubRx)?  I know the FT-1000MP always treats the SubRx frequency as VFO B.  I think the Elecraft K3 is the same.

  Would it be acceptable to have have [Alt] double-click put the spot frequency in both VFO B and the SubRx at the same time?  I'm guessing that might be something that is safer to put into the code (less risk of breaking the existing function in other radios).

    Hello all,
    When in the band map window I right click on a spot and select "Pass frequency to Sub VFO".
    However the frequency is transfered to the B VFO not to the Sub.
    There is only a generic Kenwood cat file so I guess this is normal on the other Kenwood radios without out a sub receiver.
    Can a TS950SDX file be created and the frequency be sent to the Sub receiver not VFO B.
    I think the FA/FB/FC at the start of the frequency command represent VFO A / VFO B / SUB VFO.
    So replace FB at the start of the string with FC. Can it be this simple?
