What happened?

Hello,

I am currently using AetherSDR with a Flex 6600 and I am developing a Node.js server to control AetherSDR via the TCI protocol from a Stream Deck+.

I am trying to control the Split function remotely via TCI. When I enable Split manually in AetherSDR, my TCI client receives the following notifications:

tx_enable:0,false;
tx_enable:1,true;
rx_filter_band:0,95,2700;

However, according to the TCI Protocol documentation (v2.0 by Expert Electronics), TX_ENABLE is a unidirectional command sent only by the server — it cannot be sent by a client.

The documentation also mentions SPLIT_ENABLE as a bidirectional command, but when I send SPLIT_ENABLE:0,true; from my client, AetherSDR does not respond and the Split does not activate.

My questions are:

  1. Does AetherSDR support the SPLIT_ENABLE TCI command?
  2. If not, is there another TCI command to enable/disable Split remotely from a client?
  3. Is there a specific version of the TCI protocol implemented in AetherSDR that I should refer to?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards
Pat F6IIT
