GBCATv1.1.COM2IPv1.1.RemoteScenario.2wayAudioWhat’s new in the GBCAT v1.1?

It’s been a little more than 50 days from the first GBCAT’s public release, and we already have a new GBCAT v1.1 version ready for download. Take a look what’s new:

GBCAT v1.1 bug fixes:
– fixed: Kenwood TS-2000 remote scenario, on COM2IP Redirector, CAT command execution error “SD;”
– fixed: Kenwood TS-2000 remote scenario, slider initialization for Sub-R Audio and MainR Squelch.
– fixed: Kenwood TS-2000 remote scenario, S-meter and W-meter now are ok.
– fixed: Yaesu FT-8×7, showing info about active VFO now is ok.
– fixed: Info window now showing selected RIG.
– fixed: In the scenario when we have up and running one instance of GBCAT in direct RIG controlling and we want to start another GBCAT instance for remote RIG controlling, now we can select “None” COM port, which enables “Start IP2COM Server” selector.
– fixed: Yaesu FT-857, direct frequency entering via green buttons is fixed and now can be used on every 857.

GBCAT v1.1 new features:
– added: GBCAT, Kenwood TS-2000, the four configuration lines are added for memorizing values for MainR Audio, SubR Audio, MainR  Squelch, SubR Squelch.

– added: GBCAT, Yaesu and Kenwood, menu “Remote Control/IP2COM Server, values for the “Local IP2COM Port” and for the “Remote COM2IP Redirector IP” are memorized in the GBCAT.CFG. Related to it, there are 2 lines more in the GBCAT.CFG : LOP=port_number, RIP=IP_address.
– added, GBCAT, Yaesu and Kenwood, Progress bar indicator while initializing RIG controls over TCP/IP (Remote scenario only).

GBCAT è un software per PC per controllare apparati radioamatoriali attraverso una porta COM / USB o tramite una rete TCP / IP, con la possibilità di trasferire un segnale audio a 2 vie su una rete TCP / IP. GBCAT si compone di tre parti: il modulo base, un comando  esteso set A, e il comando esteso set B.
