AetherSDR does not handle WSJT-x Full duplex for satellite mode simultaneous receive and transmit correctly with TCI. #1807

Report preparation

  • I used the AI-assisted bug report tool (Help → Support → File an Issue)
  • I have attached a support bundle or log file

What happened?

When using AetherSDR any version (in Linux or Windows with TCI) with the Flex 6600 connected to 2 Transverters and full duplex for satellite work. AetherSDR does not handle Transmit fiction correctly using TCI. TX needs to/must be set on slice “B” and receive on slice “A” with DAX ch1 set on Slice “A”. Pressing tune or Enabling TX on wsjt-x causes TX to move to slice “A”. This is also true when using voice on satellite transmissions, SSB or FM. This is while using the S.A.T. from CSN Technologies for satellite tracking, which hard codes the TX to slice “B”. This can be configured and is in use working perfectly with SSDR on Windows. I/we can’t use AetherSDR and DAX in Linux or Windows because of the DT drift issue with wsjt-x that still has not been resolved. Using TCI solves the DT issue but creates the above problem. Issues #1008 and closed #537.

What did you expect?

To setup AetherSDR for full duplex with support for Transverters and have TX stay on slice "B"

Steps to reproduce

Setup a dual SCU Flex radio with 2 transverters.
Using S.A.T. configured for use with Flex Radio
Initiate a satellite pass
S.A.T. will configure the Flex for Frequency and mode.
Enable TX, TX moves from "B" to "A"
