Good Morning All,

The Rocky 3.4 SDR software is ideal for use with the v8.3 Lite+Xtall
receiver. The Multi-Band selection on the DSP Settings page together
with some editing of the Rocky.ini file can provide easy center
frequency selection.

The Rocky.ini file Multi-Band center frequency selection lines may be
expanded to include 40 lines for each of the center frequencies
covered in Tom's v2.5 code. Since the v2.5 code results in a two
step operation to select a center frequency on the v8.3 board, each
ini file line could look like the following example:

1.820_MHz_160-BPF_B-0_F-0000=1820000

What would then appear in the Rocky Multi-Band center frequency
selection list would be:

1.820 MHz 160-BPF B-0 F-0000

This would remind the user that he needs to have the 160m BPF board
plugged onto the v8.3 receiver board, bank 0 needs to be selected at
the DIP switch and the frequency selection at the DIP switch is 000
which could correspond to 1.820 MHz.

I have tested Rocky 3.4 with the Rocky.ini center frequency table
filled out to 40 entries and Rocky does collect and save the I/Q
balance data for entry 40 in the file.

======================================================

My notes:-


Open Rocky.ini, (found in the C:\Program Files\Alfreet\Rocky) with a text editor (eg Notepad)
I suggest a backup copy of the original Rocky.ini is made before you start.


In between [Bands] and [Windows] lies the region for personal frequency bands.
Each band will have its own RX and TX calibrations.
I do not know the limit for the number of entries, Tony has tested 40.I have entered more, they appear in the drop-down frequency selection. I have not tested all these for RX/TX calibration but I think it should work.
You may copy and paste from here then edit as required.
The first part of each line is displayed in the drop-down frequency list, (this may be long, scroll up and down). The last figure, eg 1820000, is the centre frequency in Hz that is set by the USB controller. Any combination of bands and frequencies may be entered.


Example:- First entry

1.820_MHz_160-BPF_B-0_F-0000 Appears in the drop down window and contributes to the name Rocky associates to the dat file for IQ balance. This is Tony's reccomendation to remind you of the bandpass filter and switch positions (if you are using PIC control)
You may make this section as you wish, if you are using USB control it will need to finish with the frequency in Hz eg 1.820MHz enter  =1820000
For example 1.820_MHz=1820000 Will appear as 1.820 Mhz in the drop-down and the USB will set 1.820MHz as the centre frequency.
