Is there a way of having XVTA or XVTB track the band instead of the slice? FLEX-6600

Right now, it seems to me that XVTx only stays persistent on the slice that it is assigned, not the band.

IE when operating satellites, switching from a v/u to a u/v satellite does not change the XVTx to track the band. (or v/v to u/u )

Slice A is set to Vhf with XVTA and Slice B is set to Uhf with XVTB. In SatPC32 if you switch satellites from a V/U to a U/V satellite, Slice A being Vhf and Slice B being Uhf to Slice A being Uhf and Slice B being Vhf, The XVTA and B do not swap.

Do I have something setup wrong?

Rig Flex-6600, XVTA is VHF (Q5 VHF Transverter single IF/RF), XVTB is UHF (Q5 UHF Transverter single IF/RF)

SatPc v12.10 slice A is radio 1, slice B is radio 2.

Without using any 3rd party program, In single slice mode switching bands VIA pressing "Band", "XVTR", then VHF 2M or UHF 440 (< my naming instance) the XVTA and B track the band. But in 2 slice mode they do not. So you don’t need SatPC32 to experience this.

Hope this makes sense.

    Hi George

    The best way to do this is to use Global Profiles.

    Setup a Mode B configuration (VHF down and UHF up). Save that as a Mode B Global Profile.

    Now, do the same thing for Mode J and reverse the bands. Save that as a Mode J Global Profile.

    When you change birds with different modes, recall the global profile first.
