DDutil and CAT commands.
I tried to make a macro in DDutil that did not work. The same macro works for all bands except for the 2 meter band. Is this a limitation from CAT or from DDutil ?

This appears to be a SSCAT defect as it doesn't work in the SSCAT Tester either.0

It's a problem in the CatClasses.xml file (where the parameters for each CAT command are defined). I need to change the allowable upper frequency to include 2 meters, right now it is at 77 MHz.

Thanks Bob for the info. After making a back-up copy , I changed on 4 places the 77 to 150 , and it works now. I used Notepad++ for it.0

Great! I wish all problems were that easy to solve :>)1

I noticed several CAT commands in the CatClasses.xml file that will return a response but are evidentally not fully implemented as commands yet. Will these be implemented soon? I look forward to possibly have a full CAT command structure like those in PowerSDR. Jim K4JAF

Jim,
I don't believe you will see a "full" CAT command structure like PowerSDR in CAT for SmartSDR. The current implementation Is a minimalist approach, only those commands required by the more popular third-party programs, have been included. The goal here is to encourage third-party developers to work with the FlexLib API, infinitely more efficient than the legacy CAT/serial port method.
All the commands you see in CatClasses.xml were originally on the "maybe" list. Some made it to implementation, some didn't.
All that said, here's the bottom line: Flex Radio is driven by customer demands. If enough users request a feature, it will probably get incorporated. It is all matter of priority and resources.
BTW, I am not a FlexRadio employee, just one of the volunteer developers, so I can't officially speak for FRS.
73,
