<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I'm unfortunately not in front of the
setup... but the software is about 2 years old (Omnirig). Need to
check, if it is related to the VFO B.</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I will try native IC7100 instead of
OmniRig - but I'm fairly sure that it works (as a similar setup
works with IC7400). And I need Omnirig in the end (as I need to
control the radio from Win-Test and HPSDR at the same time)<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I agree that having 2 bands mapped to
the same IF is problematic. But as I wrote this works for the
setup with IC7400 (native support, not through Omnirig). That
setup runs with "Don't Poll", I guess the problem is there.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">And I don't agree that Win-Test can't
decide on the right frequency - if in doubt and the current
frequency "fits", why switch bands?</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Just to confirm: there is only one
IC7100 connected and I switch between 10 and 24 GHz by switching
the transverters on the transceiver input. Then I switch bands
(manually) with the blue arrows in the UI. I see the band change
in the UI, but it changes back immediately. It stays on the right
band only if I set the "Don't poll" option.</div>

lucky, I'll do 10 QSOs on 24GHz... in 24h)<br>

<div>Are you selecting IC-7100e4.ini? There may be a problem in
that it is returning both VFO A and VFO B and "Operating
Freq", and it's not clear which one Win-Test will use. If you
press A=B does it make any difference?</div>

<div>Do you see the same problem if you set Radio type to

<div>What values are you entering in the Frequency Offsets
dialog? If you are using the the 2m band on the radio for
both 10 and 24 GHz, and switching back and forth between 10
and 24 GHz, then I don't see any way for Win-Test to display
the proper frequency. Win-Test is designed to mapping one
band on one band (2m in your case) to one other band, not one
band to two other bands. Or are you you using TWO IC-7100s?
Are you using SO2R mode in Win-Test?</div>

<br>
I have a strange problem... my transceiver is connected to
Win-Test<br>
using Omnirig (it is a IC7100 - but should not matter).<br>
<br>
If I change bands in Win-Test, the new band is displayed for a
very<br>
short time, then Win-Test switches back to the previous
(lower) band.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm sure the problem is due to using the same transceiver
frequency for<br>
both bands - in my case 146 MHz for 10 and 24 GHz. The
frequency offset<br>
is set, so both bands for Win-Test both yield the same
frequency<br>
received from Omnirig.<br>
<br>
I know it is a corner case, but I want to report nevertheless,
maybe<br>
there is a solution.<br>
<br>
Obviously it is some kind of race between Omnirig polling and
the code<br>
that switches bands and tries to figure out the band based on
the<br>
frequency reported by the transceiver.<br>
<br>
To add to the confusion: on another band (13/6cm) I have a
very similar<br>
setup, but there I use CIV directly (to a IC7400). And there
it works...<br>
<br>
Currently, the only way to switch to 24 GHz is to turn off
polling in<br>
the Win-Test setup. Then the frequency of course is not
displayed<br>
anymore in the radio window. Not a huge deal.<br>
