<tt>Hi Bob,<br>
thanks for reply, so i understand more and more the API.<br>
Maybe there will be some improvement for the wtRadio:Send() command in
the future, it would support better homemade equipment and future rigs.<br>
<br>
For the InactiveVfo feature, this would help if you are working on the
2nd VFO and you want to switch 1st VFO to next spot, but this isn't so
important.<br>
But if the command isn't working like the name says, it should be
removed from the API or should be fixed. It would help for implementing
some Radio features.<br>
<br>
I will check this with my K3 after the CQWW next weekend.<br>
<br>
Thanks for all<br>
Olli<br>
<br>

What I mean is that the Win-Test Lua API does not allow you to send
your own CAT command and receive the response. This is not a Lua
limitation, this is a limitation of the Win-Test API.<br>
<br>
The GetFreq API is there to let you read the radio frequency. <br>

<div><br>
No, whatever reply Win-Test gets from the radio, it cannot be forwarded
to your Lua script due to internal Win-Test implementation restrictions.<br>

Correct, as I was saying, you cannot send your own CAT command to the
radio and expect the answer to be returned. You need to use the
GetFreq API instead.<br>

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"><tt>2) To be able to use this
also on a VFO on a different Band i changed
the script to:<br>
<br>
-- Save current Active VFO frequency<br>
local ActiveVFOfreq = wtRadio:GetFreq()<br>
<br>
-- Work on <br>
wtRadio:SetFreq( wtRadio:GetFreqInactiveVfo() )<br>
<br>
-- Press Ctrl-Up to move active VFO to new freq
<div class="im"><br>
wtApp:SendKeyCode(294, WT_KEY_CTRL)<br>
<br>
-- Set VFO B freq to current VFO A freq<br>
</div>
wtRadio:SetFreqInactiveVfo( wtRadio:GetFreq() )
<div class="im"><br>
<br>
-- Restore original VFO A freq<br>
</div>
wtRadio:SetFreq(ActiveVFOfreq)<br>
<br>
-- No further keystrokes<br>
return -1#<br>
<br>
For my understanding Set/Get FreqInactiveVfo should work on the non
active VFO, but for my TS-850, the commands were send always to VFO B,
even if active VFO is B (VFO B iy yellow in Bandmap).</tt></div>

<div><br>
Don't worry about active / inactive. If you want to get/set the
frequency of VFO B, just do:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">VFOBfreq =
wtRadio:GetFreq(WT_RADIO_VFOB)</span><span
style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><br>
<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
wtRadio:SetFreq(VFOBFreq, WT_RADIO_VFOB)<br>

I will be busy with a domestic contest this weekend and unable to
response further until Monday.<br>
