General>H/W> Select Region tab

Postby ve2xx » Wed Nov 02, 2022 1:37 pm

is there a way to modify or add a specific band plan? in the drop down menu the Canadian band plan is not there.
My N3fjp logging pgm poles freq and select the mode according to the band plan automatically. I have it turned off because i was using the US band plan and as soon as i went below say 7.125 it automatically thinks i i am on cw, we can go to 7.040 on ssb.

Any way to change this to better suit my needs??

thanks

Stu,

I believe that you can go into the database.xml file and manually edit it to modify an existing band plan or add another band plan. I've never done it before, perhaps someone else has.

Notepad++ with the xml plug-in is what I use for editing xml but you can certainly use your favorite tool.

i changed ONE parameter, on the 40M band from 7.125 to 7.040 and the GUI comes up out of band NOW,

must be something else to change as well,

oh well , was worth a try

Stu,
Did you try changing the Region to 'Region 1'? On my system, that changes the the waterfall marker to your desired freq.
