Re: Dashboard activates but doesn't reflect
Hi Alan,
This has happened remotely via my iPad. So at first I thought it might have something to do with the VPN. I checked it as soon as I got home on the local computer. Same thing. I am not using a web browser, but an App. I have refreshed it several times. I also opened it in Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. Same result.

Re: Dashboard activates but doesn't reflect
Ed, I should add.
If refreshing your browser shows the dashboard updates you sent to the HF-Auto, it is a sign that your computer is not keeping up with the changes.
If so, try reducing?the number of open browser tabs or other applications running.

File /!1! Flows by Type/SVG Based Flows/Tuner Sweep.json updated

Description:
Update >> Bug fixes for the Memory Save Controls<<. Tuner Sweep. Using the 403A, Flex, Tuner Genius, teaches the TG-XL tuner the tuning solution for any range of frequencies and step size within the selected frequency range. Requires the WO2X Tuner Genius Flow.

I did a live demo at Xenia with my Stream Deck plugged into my laptop. Using a combination of FRStack on the laptop with StreamDeck REST commands and then websocket back to Node RedPi in shack in NJ I had full control.
I like the 32 button vs 15 as I don’t have to switch between screens for commonly used controls (AC power outlets, rotor control, relays, antenna switch, PG XL amp, Tuner Genius and radio.)
There is a zip file in files section of the site with my different flows, Stream Deck plug-ins, and my profile for Stream Deck. Also have a video on YouTube where we cover configuring the Stream Deck.

Re: File /!1! Flows by Type/SVG Based Flows/Tuner Sweep.json updated

I added a Sweep Memory Module. ?Here is a screenshot of the new Dashboard Group:  After building a Tuner Sweep, give the default file name a prefix. ?The default name is the band-year-day-minute, of the scan.

The Sweeps are stored in a text file in your Node-Red host PC's, "Document" directory, "tuner_sweeps". ?One subdirectory, "sweep_data" contains a file for each saved sweep, and, a file named, "sweep_names" is a text file of all the saved sweep names.  If your current Raspberry Pi user name is "pi", no changes are required. ?If you have a different user name or if you want to save the "tuner_sweeps" directory in a different location, you can easily modify the path on the "Memory Control Module" editor page:  Alan.

Hi Michael,
I’ve changed my station around and in process of reconfiguring for high power SO2R. I sold the K4D to a friend.
Contact me direct. I can get you set up with what I have so far for the K4D and am willing to assist you with getting started. Once you see what I have done so far, it should be easy to implement your additional ideas.
My e-mail is good on QRZ.

Some thoughts off the top of my head:
1) Toggle between CW IIR and standard filters - with a complimentary adjustment of the pitch to be a multiple of 50
2) Sliders for AGC attack, decay fast/slow, slope, and threshold
3) Radio buttons for fan speed
4) Internal screen cap button? trigger the event
5) External screen cap button to trigger the event
6) Toggle of spectrum amplitude unit dBM/S-Units
7) VFO counts per turn radio buttons
8) TX and RX EQ sliders for each range

my apologies for the slooooooooooooow response.??? Not been on the interwebz much lately.

? We’re getting it working under various conditions such as TX Ant 1 or 2 on radio (port A or B on TG XL) and show colors to indicate if tuner in circuit or bypassed for each tune point.?
Once done then will start looking into adding colors to indicate a failed or high SWR tune and then if it make sense to sequence thru each band automatically.?
I think the second condition above will not be included since every installation is unique (number of antennas in total, number of antennas per band, etc). So it will be up to each person to select the band and antenna before starting.?
For example if you have two antennas for 20 meters, you can make sure the first antenna is selected, run to sweep/auto tune, then select second antenna and run it again.?
Alan has put a lot of work into this and it is something that can help take the guesswork out of selecting different start and end frequencies per band and default number of tune memories. You will have the ability to manually set start and end frequencies and number of memories. You don’t need ten memories for 12 meters.?

?Thanks, Bret
It would be easy enough to add Antenna information to the Tuner Sweep Dashboard, but for now, I think it would take away from the Tuner Sweep's KISS approach. ?Dave, what do you think?
Our next big idea is to have the frequency bars change colors to show the SWR levels and other stuff.....I sent Dave the HTML code, and Dave is working out the details of the color schemes and "other stuff". ? ?Stand by for the next update.

You can change the number of memories to fit your needs.?
You can also set the start and end frequency and change number of tune memories (steps).
The resultant graph has a bar above the frequency for each memory tune point. It is blue to indicate tuner in circuit, green for tuner bypassed, and red for SWR above 2.0:1.
The zip package has the updated FlexRadio and Tuner Genius flows as well as the tuner sweep flow which I modified to work with the Flex and TG XL flows.
