Timed beacon not working beta152


 

HI Andrew

I installed the new beta 152 and notice that the timed beacon does not seem to be working.? I have YAAC set to beacon every 30 minutes.? I can beacon by pressing the space bar or the BCN button but the auto beacon does not work.? I downgraded to beta 151 and the timed beacon works fine with no setting changes.? Is there some setting in 152 for the beacon that I have missed?? Thanks for a great program and excellent support as usual.

Thanks and 73

What is the fast time for your beacon? A recent feature allowed setting fast to 0, which means don't _ever_ auto-beacon. This was intended for places where automatic station control is prohibited (for example, on the 60-meter band in the US). If you don't have a non-zero fast beacon, that beacon will never transmit automatically.

I can't find a setting called "fast" beacon, but my initial repeat rate is 60 and stable slow repeat rate is 1800. Smart beaconing is disabled.? If I have missed some setting please tell me what page it is on so I can find it.? Note that I said that in beta 151 with all the same settings the auto beacon works perfectly Thanks.

Fast beaconing is the initial rate, as in "go fast when you first get on the air, and slow down if you're not changing anything."

Hmmm... this sounds odd. Could you privately email me the export of your configuration, and your YAAC.out log file? Sounds like something might be broken.

Andrew, KA2DDO
