Hi.
I'm seeing strangeness between the command values used to set the AF
Gain, and what is returned when you query it, even using the KX3 utility
software (v1.2.12.21)
The front panel control range is 0 to 60. The values returned when
querying the radio follow that just fine as you query it while twiddling
that knob.
But... Sending the command AG060; does not result in maximum AF Gain.
For that, it needs AG100; sent to the radio.
If you send AG060; (or AG60;) then the "volume" is about 50% of maximum
(by ear.) Poll the radio with AG; and it returns AG060;
But, if you gently turn the AF Gain control counter-clockwise, the front
panel volume setting shows AF 59, but the volume (by ear) goes UP.
Turning the control clockwise, will also bring the volume up, but the
value stays at 60.
If you send AG100; to get maximum volume, and then send (for example)
AG070; to reduce it, it does reduce. But, if you query the radio with
AG; It returns AG060;
As before, all of the above is when using the KX3utility, to send and
receive commands and parameters between PC and radio.
PC's OS is LinuxMint 19.3 64 bit all up-to-date. Also using a genuine
KXUSB cable, FTDI chipset version.
My KX3 MCU firmware is Rev 02.95 and DSP firmware is 01.52
MCU or DSP Firmware issues?
I Initially found this, when investigating to "adjust" Flrig to work
correctly with the KX3, using the radio's native parameter values.
Currently it seems to use K3 remote command values for most things.
As anyone who has messed with the remote control of these radios will
know, a KX3 is very different in detail, to the K3 in many command
parameters.
Seasons Greetings etc.
