Primo post su questo forum.. un saluto a tutti.

Premetto che ringrazio di cuore l'autore di questo e di tutti i software che vengono prodotti GRATIS per tutti noi, vengo ad esporre il mio grosso problema.
Ho installato CatBkt su una macchina con Windows 7 64bit (nuova installazione) ma, dopo aver settato il programma, in fase di sincronizzazione compare la scritta "il programma non risponde" e per chiderlo devo intervenire agendo sui tasti CTRL-ALT-CANC e chiderlo dalla Gestrione Attività.

La radio è collegata tramite cavo seriale direttamente alla COM1 (non USB) del PC. Avendo aggiunto altre due porte seriali ho provato anche su COM 3 e COM4 ma il risultato è lo stesso.

Ho installato una vecchia versione di HRD e con questo non ho nessun problema, viene vista immediatamente su qualsiasi porta la vada a collegare.

Further to our previous email, I anxiously look forward to your including a display of the Maidenhead Grid Locator in the section of the display screen related to the GPS-acquired information. The Maidenhead Grid Locator is calculated from the latitude and longitude included in the GPS NMEA sentences. Perhaps the GPS section could be expanded slightly to include the latitude and longitude along with the calculated Maidenhead Grid Locator when the ENABLE GPS box is checked.

Please let me know if I can help you with the calculation of the Maidenhead Grid Locator, although there are many other sources discussing how this is calculated from the current latitude and longitude.

Good luck and please let me know when this new version is available ;-) MNI TNX and VY 73, Lance

Hello Mauro,

I have been struggling with a clock problem while using JT65-HF and a friend suggested BktTS. In struggling with this clock problem I realize that all time correction utilities will apply the correction at the :00 second point. Of course for JT65, this means that the correction occurs during the start of the receive/transmit period, which might affect the QSO. JT65 QSOs occur from :00 to 0:48 seconds every minute. If BktTS would allow the user to set when the clock update occurs, we could set the update to occur between 0:48 and 0:59 seconds, so that the correction does not occur during the receive/transmit period.

Hope this suggestion is useful to you. Thank you for creating and maintaining this excellent software.

Ciao IZ2BKT, vorrei complimentarmi per l'ottimo programma. Finora tra tutti quelli provati è l'unico che mi permette di comandare via pc un Racal RA1792, per quanto riguarda il cambio di frequenza.
L'RX lo piloto tramite convertitore Prologix USB-GPIB (e visto dal pc come com3) e setto il Catbkt come RA6790GM (via hamlib). A parte che non corrispondono i modi di emissione (ma questo dipende dalle hamlib), c'è modo di poter controllare i filtri di banda del Racal tramite il tuo Catbkt??
Aggingo anche una seconda richiesta: come posso fare per poter sincronizzare il Racal con un FT857D, facendo in modo che il Racal segua gli spostamenti di frequenza dello Yaesu? è possibile farlo con il Catbkt??
Grazie anticipatamente.
Matteo
