4.1 software custom bands broken?

n8wrl

I submitted a helpdesk ticket to 4o3a... I thought maybe someone here might see my error...

The upgrade instructions say to export the settings, do the update, and then restore. All that worked. Except, the export function doesn't export the bands!

I have 2 custom bands for 80m because of some antenna limitations here, now they don't work.

The UI is different too - the selected antenna is green like it used to be, but sometimes switching to another band leaves the previous band blue - is it selected? Which antenna is active?

I just don't know.

Thanks all!

Well it seems that the bands cannot overlap at all. I had two custom bands that divided 80 meters for my dipole and 4-sqaure. As long as the stock "80m" band which covered the whole band was there none of it worked. By replacing or disabling the 80m band (by setting crazy end-points, like 1-2) fixed it.

It would be nice if the manual said something about that, and even better if the app warned me.

Oh well, it's working now.

Also - the export function is no longer XML - it's JSON. Not a big deal, but again, a difference in the docs.

The export function doesn't seem to capture all of the OM relay board info either. Very annoying....
