Hi David
I have fixes for two kcat bugs. Based on 1.2.5.2 from your alpha directory, the bugs are:
(1) the scanner start frequency can't be changed. The entry field maxes at 999.999 but the value is in kHz. I changed it to allow 2 more digits.
(2) There are tuning errors sprinkled throughout the bands due to a bug when a 0x00 byte occurs in the frequency. The copy of the frequency into the buffer sent to the rig stops at the zero, even though the zero is a significant value and there may be more values after. When the zero is in the lowest byte it causes no problem, since zero is zero. When it's in the second byte it makes a tuning glitch about 111 Hz wide which may go unnoticed. When the zero is in the third byte it's a bigger issue, a hole in the spectrum about 29 kHz wide. But these only happen on multiples of 7.5 MHz so aren't in the ham bands. But tuning WWV at 15.000 MHz becomes a challenge.
I have fixed both of these in my copy. Let me know if/how you'd like me to send the changes, or if you want more info first.
Thanks - Bill N7DZ
