CAT w/ Kenwood TS850

Unread post by w4pd »

Question: RUMlogNG does not seem to communicate the "AI1;" command to the radio when initializing serial communication on start-up. RUMlogNG does properly read the initial radio frequency, but subsequent mode or frequency changes on the radio are not apparently communicated to RUMlogNG. If I issue the command from a serial terminal window, RUMlogNG will then properly update display frequency & mode changes on the radio. Am I missing a RUMlog config option?
Thank you for a very nice logging program!

Hi. Just wonder if you ever resolved this? I have exactly the same symptoms and would love to get this superb software working fully. Thanks. David MM0XDG

Hello David,
The only way I resolved it was to turn on the rig & 232 interface before RUMLogNG. Then I opened a serial port application & entered the AI1; command. Once the radio beeped I checked the program for returning characters when changing freq on the rig. Once confirmed the command was working, I closed the serial port application & started RUMLogNG & everything worked as desired.

Good news, and maybe I'm slow to inform, but Tom has now released a new rev of the RUMogNG and has included support for the KW850. Works PERFECTLY without all the extra clicking before starting the log.

Thank you Tom! Very much appreciated!

Hope this helps you too David.
