I think Mack said Tune, only to send a carrier, not ATU to have the tuner function.
I am not sure if there is a CAT command to send TUNE.

Hi Ron
That CAT user guide is at https://www.flexradio.com/downloads/smartsdr-cat-user-guide-pdf/
It looks like you can set the TX mode, power and then put the radio into TX Have a look and see if you can find a solution. You can then return it to the previous state.

I tried a transmit mode of CW instead of AM (MD3) with no improvement. The delay was also increased to 1 sec in case the radio needed more time to process the command. No luck.
Thanks, Ron0 -
What about using ZZMD?0

Should this be elevated to a support ticket?
Thanks, Ron0 -
try MD02; you are only providing 1 digit it wants 2 digits for the mode selection.0

I have confirmed that RMS Express sends an 'MD9' over a CAT port successfully to change modes, and FLDigi successfully sends an 'MD9' over TCP port 5002. If I try to send an MD9 over the USB cable the radio does not successfully change modes.

Ron, the CAT manual shows ZZMD06; for AM. Unless the manual has a typo.
And instead of MD9 for DIGIU try ZZMD07;

Hi Ron
At this point, I would ask that you summarize your findings and open a support case so we can trace it correctly. This way it will get engineering visibility.

See page 114 or 110 of the last 2 user manuals which list the acceptable commands via cat on the cables, you will not find a command listed which will allow you to change modes on the cable you can get or see which mode is in use in the slice by using the ZZIF command. So you will have to see what mode its in then send an api command via network to change to the mode you want. Its not a bug its the wayit was designed to work according to the documentation. The mode change commands work fine via api and the network.0

Actually several programs allow you to change modes via serial CAT. WSJT-X and Ham Radio Deluxe are just two examples. As long as Ron's program is sending the proper syntax it should work. Look at my reply further up to Ron. The commands he was sending that didn't work via CAT were different from the latest CAT command reference.

You can change modes with cat but not through the cable he is trying to use on the usb port.0
