Tuning steps again.

Post by g1hbe » Tue Jul 09, 2019 1:27 pm

I've just installed Uno 1.32 and all went smoothly as usual, but is there any sign of a fix for the tuning step problem? If I use WFM and then select USB, the step stays on 100kHz and I have to change it manually. In fact the whole tuning step arrangement seems a bit chaotic. Sorry to moan, but it's been like this for quite some time now.

Agree Andy.It would work out better, when a step size was selected for a mode, say 12.5khz for NFM it was written back to the .ini on close down.
ie remembers last settings.

The following entries in the ini file represent the saved step sizes...

iAMStepSizeIndex=8
iLSBStepSizeIndex=7
iUSBStepSizeIndex=7
iFMNStepSizeIndex=9
iFMWStepSizeIndex=19
iCWStepSizeIndex=3

The index value corresponds to the step size dropdown list (between 2-20)

I have just gone from FM wideband to USB and the step size changed to what I had expected. So maybe this is a sequencing issue? I would check the values in the ini file (without SDRuno running) and then step through from AM - FMN - FMW - CW - LSB - USB and see if the step size changes to the correct values that are in the ini file - it's working fine for me so would probably explain why it wasn't "fixed".

Note: The ini file will remember the step sizes in each instance independently - so if you start up multiple instances of SDRuno, it's possible that you'll end up with different step sizes set for each instance.

A video showing the problem sent to feedback@sdrplay.com would be useful together with your ini file, so that we can try to replicate the issue.

Thanks,

Andy

sdrplay
Every time I closed the application, only running 1 instance.
The steps would go to a default setting.
To test I set "steps" AM to 9Khz & FM 12.5Khz.
Switched off, waited until it closed.
Restarted, back to default again.

Then tried delete ini file from the start menu.
Restated & switched on, set AM to 9k & FM to 12.5k.
Switched off, closed app, had a look at the .ini
iAMStepSizeIndex=12 <<<<< 9k step
iLSBStepSizeIndex=7
iUSBStepSizeIndex=7
iFMNStepSizeIndex=14 <<<< 12.5 k step
iFMWStepSizeIndex=19
iCWStepSizeIndex=3

When you restart & before switching on the FM step is set to 5k even if it is correct in the .ini.
Would you like to connect remotely via Teamviewer to play with it.

Apologies for mentioning it in the wrong place, but I've seen this matter mentioned so often on here and on the FB pages that I assumed it was already 'on the list'.
I've just gone to my laptop and:

1. Opened up a single RX in SDRUno
2. Select WFM. Note step size is shown as 100 kHz.
3. Now select USB without changing anything else. Note USB is correctly selected but step size remains at 100 kHZ.
4. Now select LSB and see the correct step size (100Hz) is selected.

I don't think it's connected to any particular band, I've noticed it at several frequencies. This morning's instance was on ~244 MHz.
