ZZAI; Command return

[WA4SIX]

I understand how the command works. I just do not know what the output will be.
I can change the bit 1-4 to get it broadcast how I need.
What I do not know is what is output. Is it just FA when the value changes?
Could it be configured to output "IF;"? The details are not easy to find.

Thank you,
Ed

That's a great question. As this is a Kenwood command I thought it would be easy to find the answer in the Kenwood documentation, but it's not there either.

The good news is that it's not difficult to find out by experimentation. Simply attach a dumb terminal app to Thetis and see what comes out. You can even do this via the Thetis TCP/IP server facility by using a Telnet connection.

I just tried it and AFAIK it only sends FA and FB data and only when that data changes. For example:

FA00007160200;FB00007087700;

That was my line of thinking. I was just hoping to get the TX state, along with frequency without polling the radio constantly.
Thank you very much !

Perhaps the function that the radio sends selected CAT data when the frequency or another trigger is changed could be implemented in the software? (SmartSDR calls this “Autoreport”)

ICOM radios have always done this, which makes the CAT connection easier
