Hi Mauro

Thanks for responding to my request for a timed start/stop on the recorder function.

I finally cracked the character code to join the forum!

JT65-HF shows the frequency from IC7000BKT using the "Commander" check box but does not change the frequency when clicking on a different frequency using the drop down list on JT65-HF nor does it operate the PTT. I think it does the same with Commander and that only HRD can change the frequency and operate PTT. Is there something I am not doing? I tried starting MyDDE but could not get it to start with IC7000BKT and JT65-HF running. MyDDE works well with Orbitron though.
