Great! I think that buildokg from source and including this file is way beyond my skills
Thank you

Let's try this one...hopefully works...there was just one command I had to change from the 2050. https://www.dropbox.com/s/il7d8suovzum6vp/wsjtx-2.3.0-rc2-win64.exe?dl=0 You can test it with rigctl-wsjtx rigctl-wsjtx -m 32002 -r com1 -s 9600  You get be able to get/set frequency, get/set mode, ptt, and splitSo these commands should work in rigctl-wsjtx -- the lower case are reads, uppercase are writes.

Sorry I could download the file and try it
Informative commands work, such as f or m
But those in capitals are not working properly 😕

[mdblack98]

Try this version and if you need to run rigctl again please add "-vvvvv -Z" to get more debug info. I had to correct the set_freq command. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ek62wx7yg8dusqv/wsjtx-2.3.0-rc2-win64.exe?dl=0 Mike W9MDB On Sunday, January 3, 2021, 02:19:57 PM CST, ea3iav <notifications@github.com> wrote: Sorry I could download the file and try it Informative commands work, such as f or m But those in capitals are not working properly 😕 — You are receiving this because you modified the open/close state.

Thank you Mike
I tried new version

Whereas info commands are ok I still have problems with invalid parameter using "write commands"
For instance, when changing mode the command line freezes

Another idea -- I could use say channels 441-450 as a 10-band channel memory.  So once the frequencies are set they rarely need to change unless you change modes from FT8 to FT4 for example which have different frequencies.  So you could band-hop on one mode without having to write to memory. I kind of like that idea as it minimizes the # of channels used and minimizes EEPROM writes. So I'm going to implement that.

So it appears that the only way to set frequency on the 950 is to program a memory channel and select it. I don't suppose you have a schematic for the 950?  Writing to a memory location normally means writing to an EEPROM.  And there is a limited number of write cycles an EEPROM can handle depending on the specific EEPROM used and runs 100,000 to 1,000,000 or so. If I program it to use memory location 1 and let's say you do 20 band changes per day that would be 5,000 days or a bit over 13 years and the EEPROM is likely to fail.I could also use 2021 as a base year and change the channel# used every year so with 400 channels that would last 400 years or more.

Hi! The way Frequency control goes for instance in omnirig is to reprogram or change the frequency on the default channel. No need to even name the channel.
So you connect the radio and send commands. They can be strings or single commands.
Here are the commands

If you always use the default channel you will burn out the EEPROM a lot sooner.  That's a fairly old rig and quite possible the EEPROM may not have more then 100,000 writes to any one location.  You'd have to look up the EEPROM model number. My solution of using channels 441-450 for the 10 bands will minimize the # of writes to EEPROM.  If you work FT8 all day for example you will never have to write to EEPROM.Switching to FT4 will require 1 write and then switching back to FT8 will require another write.  So only when you have to use a different frequency on a band will EEPROM get updated.

Hi! It is a 27C512 Eprom
I am thinking about doing some backups... as I use this method of constant rewrite with my nextion interface

[mdblack98]

That's an EPROM and not EEPROM.So I don't think that's where it keeps channel info.Is there another memory device in there?

28C64
This is the only eeprom I see. You arr right. Only 100K cycles
Do you think this can be just replaced once it dies??

[mdblack98]

The AT28C64-25SI is still available
https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/microchip-technology/AT28C64-25SI/398949

Did you get the last link I sent you to try?
Please contact me off list at mdblack98@yahoo.com

Hi, how did this go in the end? Have you considered adding the Barrett 4050?

[mdblack98]

It all went quite well. Hopefully the 4050 doesn't require channel writes to do simple frequency changes.
