You can check whether the correct commands are being sent to the transceiver.? Open the trace panel and deselect all trace functions with the excepttion of the "set trace".? Press the "view trace" button. Then open the pull down tab panel to the "extras" tab. Select as above for the clock and then press the "Sync Now" button.? The commands should be sent at the 00 second instant. David On 9/16/24 22:41, VR2VRC via groups.io

Hi David and group
?
I'm exited to report that, after compiling and installing flrig 2.0.05.75 today, that SWR and ALC metering are working on my TS590SG!? (I think these were actually fixed on 2.0.05.66 which I never tested - thanks Filip!)
?
It's not clear to me what the ALC graduations (1 to 4, further subdivided into tenths) on flrig's ALC meter mean as they don't seem to correspond to ALC meter dots on the rig's display, for which I've never read an explanation either. ?For example, one dot on the rig is displayed as 3 or 4 tenths on the flrig meter; two dots is displayed as about 7 or 8 tenths (roughly double), and three dots as a full '1', so the readings are roughly proportional to one another. ?But the main point is that the ALC meter displays, is useful, and I know where to aim on it!
?
I find a few minor issues with flrig and the 590SG that I thought you might like to be aware of. ?None of them are deal-breakers, as they are easily worked around.
?
(1) ? ?Whenever starting flrig, I am always told to click Init to get it to communicate with the transceiver, even if the transceiver is already powered on. ?Perhaps this is normal, but if so, it might save a couple steps if the Init button were on the front page, rather than under Config>Setup>Transceiver. Or perhaps I've just missed something in the Config?
?
Related to this, just clicking the Init button results in the same error; to get around the error, I must first click the Tuner button before clicking the Init button - then all is well. ?Only the Tuner button works - I've not found any other button that fixes it. ?
?
(2) ? ?Speaking of the Tuner button, I think it's been mentioned elsewhere in the forums that the yellow indicator turns on momentarily, but does not remain on, even when the tuner is in line. This is my experience also.
?
(3) ? ?The 590SG has a feature not present on the 590S whereby one can choose Hi- and Lo-cut filters instead of Width and Shift controls in USB-Data mode, via menu option 29. ?This is essential to using the rear-panel USB port for WSJT-X audio. ?However, flrig's filter controls on the SG behave the same as for the S, that is, they still function as Width-Shift controls, even if the SG's Menu 29 is set for Lo-Hi cut. ?The simple workaround, mentioned elsewhere in the forum, is to program Lo-cut and Hi-cut command buttons.
?
As I say, none of these issues prevent me from using flrig to do what I need it to do, which is to view and control my radio's settings while using wsjt-x remotely.? A very handy piece of software. ?Thank you!
?
