Tools

The helpers below expect

  • the TRX to be connected to /dev/ttyUSB0.
  • pyserial is installed.

ft991a_menu_export.py

This dumps the settings from the menu setup to STDOUT. It expects the TRX to be connected to /dev/ttyUSB0.

Example

python ft991a_menu_export.py > dump.ft991a

This file contains a dump of DO1JJBs config, stripped by some creds.

ft991a_cat_replay.py

This executes all CAT commands, read from STDIN. this can be used to restore the settings from ft991a_menu_export.py, as this uses EX command.

Hint: This can be used to set also only parts of the TRX config, for changing from CW to telephony to DigiModes and vice versa. Just put the changed EX commands in a file and feed it with this tool to the TRX.

Example

python ft991a_cat_replay.py < dump.ft991a

Limitations

It cannot restore EX031, the speed of the CAT interface. This is rejected by at least FW 2.04. (It also would high likely break the CAT stream via serial when changing the speed while configuring.)

It cannot set EX087 as this a read only command. See CAT commands.
