I did a presentation to the Malver Hills Radio Society. I think about 5 are using or trying the mode

So, to date 82 people have read this post. How many have given a presenation to their local club actully encouraging others to install the software, offered help to set up and use the mode. All very well complaining about lack of activity but what active steps are YOU taking to improve the situation?

THis is sorted now. Althought the help that pops up in the app says use "tune=". THe CAT command wen page says use "AntennaTuner=". This latter command does work but remember to put the semicolon at the end of the command i.e. AntennaTuner=AC002;

Thanks, this is really helpful.. now making use of this

FTDX101MP AntennaTuner=AC002 to cause the ATU to fire. Tested, the TUNE button does not need to be 'on' for this to work.

Will do as I know they video these presentations.

I'm also happy to provide my version as well if anybody want it. it is a combination of my own slides, some from Irad's presentation and some from MJ Jordan KW3KW. I'm giving the presentation Tuesday evening and I've incorporated some video of live QSOs (with permission) so currenlty about 300MB but I can cut out the video and it's much smaller. Sat on 21.105Mhz as I type but no activity on the band at the moment. I know 14.105 is mucxh more active but you never know what you'll find unitl you try

Yes, it was repeatable. Tried it three times. Had to either close Vara modem ( which did not lock up) to close VARac window or use task manager. It did not unlock or stop transmitting after 20 seconds. There was no power out as there was no modulation after about 3 seconds just PTT.
