All I can see is that the mode_bwA is getting corrupted when I change the CW bandwidth. The CW, CW-R, LSB, LSB-D, USB and USB-D values are all getting set to 9 (500 Hz). I set a breakpoint on IC7300.cx:def_bandwidth and peeked the values as I was changing mode from the dropdown list.

They also seem to be corrupted on the rig as well. But I need to devise a more rigorous experiment as I may be getting into a cycle of cause and effect. But it's time to start making Sunday dinner.

I did notice that as I changed the bandwidth on the CW filter it went to the sharp edge filter from the smooth edge filter. This seemed to be the rig doing this.

After some prompting by Mike Black in another forum, I have the following results.

The problem only occurs if I have transmitted in CW mode, AND the CW filter bandwidth was not its default value. I only get the problem accessing through flrig, and the problem also occurs when I select USD-D in the dropdown menu on flrig.

Time to rootle about in the code.

Phil.

This is a problem that has been bugging me for sometime. I finally decided to look into it.

I am running an IC-7300 and connecting to it with flrig. Most times I change my operating from CW to FT8 the filter bandwidth remains at 500 Hz. I am using WSJT-X to effect the switch. I have found the trace where WSJT-X is requesting the mode change and can see the XML and CAT interfaces. In the section below I see 4 CI-V transactions:

at 681 ms - On selected VFO, set USB-D, filter 1.

at 684 ms - Set bandwidth 9 - which I assume is what is setting it to 500 Hz (0 is 50 Hz, 40 is 3600 Hz).

at 686 and 689 ms - these are setting default Twin PBT settings.

Should we keep the bandwidth when we change modes or just keep the selected filter or even select the default filter for that mode?

I’m getting that also, you’re not alone!

I think Dave was on to something about not getting RF on CW but I
changed the KEYER setting to ON on the M-LIST and then got full 100W
output using the mic PTT as a keyer.

Do you have a schematic or service manual? Might be able to pinpoint
where things could be going wrong in the USB/M-DIN path using that.

I have installed FreeBSD 14.2 and the Mate desktop to 7 computers so far, and Fldigi.

So far, no freezes and it all seems to work flawlessly.

I also installed Flmsg, Flamp, and Flrig. I have not yet used Flrig, since my CAT-capable rigs
are down for repair.

WSTJ-X appears to be working well too.

It takes me about 2 hours of steady work to get the OPSYS, desktop, and other software
installed and configured when starting from a bare computer.

I have not yet enabled PF and its settings, though.

Installing FreeBSD on 4 old Acer laptops made them usable for our club Field Day ops again.
They were horribly slow and really unusable when trying to use Win10 on them.

I have had no luck, so far, with WINE, but we have not needed that.....yet.
