Re: LF: WSQ2 new version uploaded

Great, it's fixed now, thank you Wolf

- The port number is first read from file setup.txt  (ie COM3) and displayed in a combobox



- then,  the user can just say OK or select another serial Port 
- the port is then opened and an error message output if the selected port does not exist or is already opened.
- According to me, sentence "Select another comport to turn off PTT" is wrong and confusing. 

The new serial port, if any, is not saved, therefore the correct port number has to be set in setup.txt 
The serial port is opened at launch time if the Synthesizer checkbox  is already checked. Sometimes it's better to 
open the port just before outputing data and release it when done, sometimes not  ( ie bluetooth serial port)

It would be nice to have some more functionnalities to fully support a TX such as:
PTT ON  (PTT OFF is already implemented at Line 8 of setup.txt)
Actual Frequency

Hi Michel, Ok, I just checked (even if I don't have a synthesizer to test) and indeed there was something wrong with the commands strings loaded from file "setup.txt". Hopefully fixed now. I have uploaded a slightly modified version a few minutes ago. Not really sure about when to open the serial port (immediately after starting WSQ ?) and which serial port number to use.. maybe you can test and suggest how to do this properly : There's one COM port number specified in "setup.txt", and another one selectable through the PTT menu - but the latter (user selection) isn't saved anywhere so far. The setup file is only read, but never written by WSQ. (maybe this would be a solution: If the operator selects a COM port from the PTT menu, the com port number from "setup.txt" should be ignored) 73,   Wolf .

Hi Wolf,

Last version (march 6th)  has a problem with the synthesizer.
Only the first tone is output to the serial COM port and the Synthesizer command  displays no data anymore.
btw the "Open synthesizer file" menu does nothing with the selected file (File Open Dialog  is ok)
