Antenna reporting issues

So... tonight I am having some strange issues happening.

The little indicator panel for the antennas on the left side is reporting differently than the Antenna control panel page. Also, it is letting me switch RX2 to the same operating antenna as RX1 and TX1??? its not complaining??

I am confused about what is going on, and starting to worry something might be wrong in the radio!


Any ideas?

Noticing it only seems to happen when on 'Advnanced'

Yes I have seen the same thing in "Advanced" mode in both v2.8 and v2.7.
I believe its a timing issue in the software.
I did try to cure it in v2.8 but got side tracked.

Oh, odd, i guess I just never noticed it before??

I thin the odd thing is, the setting RX2 to the same as RX1 and TX used to complain... now it doesnt?

As long as its just the display on the left of the screen, I am ok with it :-) Just odd i hadnt noticed it before.

It looks like RX2 (as displayed on the Console screen) does not update to the ANT setting you see on the "Antenna" form (in the Advanced mode) until you turn ON RX2, but then you still need to change bands or change the Receiver2 in the "Antenna" form to force an RX2 update on the Console screen display.

I haven't touched the Antenna software, But I will take a look at it.

Mike

Go and download and install .119 (from the Green button) the latest version on my webpage.

I added code to make sure the ANT Display always updates properly (with RX2 ON or OFF)

Give it a try.
