Flex6700 Transverter Frequency Reads Incorrect with 1.9.13.87 Display Bug Bad Math !!!

My new Flex670 with 1.9.13.87 when setting RF to 432.000MHZ and a 144MHz IF
the Spectrum Display/Waterfall shows the LO Frequency 288MHz not 144MHz
Definite Bug will not work for my Microwave Frequencies !!

    Not sure how to submit a ticket


    Their Transverter setting XVTR mode should indicate either High Side or Low Side LO as well
    Maybe FRS does not know how Mixers work since none exist in the Flex6700

    Have Transverters at different Microwave Bands RF at 10.368GHz Transverter with IF = 144MHz by DB6DT 
    another transverter at 
    RF at 432MHz Transverter at 1296MHz with IF =144MHz 
    another transverter at
    RF at 1296MHz with IF = 144MHz

    Calculation & Display incorrect with 144MHz IF frequencies

    I submitted a ticket for this same problem a few months ago for SmartSDR 1.6.21 when I tried to set up my VHF & UHF transverters.  At the time, I was told that I was the only person reporting this problem.  After going through several factory resets and database reconstructions at Tim's behest, there was no change.  Afterwards, Tim informed me that it had been recorded as a bug.  That was the last I heard of it.  Hopefully, now that I'm not alone, it will receive more attention.  Dan, KB5MY

    Anyone experiencing this problem should submit a help desk ticket and reference defect number 2563.  I believe there is info on submitting help tickets on Flex's website - that's where I went to find out how.  Dan, KB5MY

    at first it put me to on 9856....   but if put VFO on 10.000.240 it hear the signal 

    so i think it put by default the VFO on the IF frequency , but conversion was still good 

    did you try to tune to know signal source

    With  RF set to 10368.000MHz and IF set to 144MHz
    The Display is at LO Frequency and WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO GO TO 10368MHZ
    It is still a problem !

    For 10GHz weak signals these are the frequencies 
    For Canada & USA Region 2 Frequency is 10.3681GHz SSB Weak Signal Calling
    Frequency - 10368.1MHz  

    Guess you have no Microwave SSB Weak Signal Equipment there !
