rigctld causing unwanted bandwidth change

When operating VarAC using rigctld, every band change or slot sniffer action changes the RX bandwidth to its default for the selected mode. This

should not happen. Here are 2 ideas to solve this problem:


(1) do NOT set mode when changing band (operator's task)


(2) use pseudo bandwidth -1 (no bandwidth change).

Have tried this by sending rigctl commands to rigctld:


Start rigctl daemon (TRX = K4 via tcp/ip):

rigctld -m 2047 -r 192.168.68.114:9200 -t 4532


Launch rigctl in new command shell:

rigctl -m 2 -r localhost:4532


Rig command: m # query mode and bandwidth

Mode: PKTUSB

Passband: 700 # value previously set on the rig


Rig command: M PKTUSB 0 # set mode. 0 --> default mode bandwidth

Rig command: m

Mode: PKTUSB

Passband: 2000 # 2000 Hz = default PKTUSB bandwidth


Rig command: M PKTUSB 700 # set bandwidth back to 700 Hz

Rig command: m

Mode: PKTUSB

Passband: 700


Rig command: M PKTUSB -1 # set mode. -1 --> no bandwidth change

Rig command: m

Mode: PKTUSB

Passband: 700 # bandwidth unchanged!

I prefer option 2 but I already done this and sent test version and got a report that it did not help... I can try again with you if you want. send me an email to iradirad@gmail.com
