Hello Irad, using varac on qo100 we need to set a double frequency on the sdrconsole program which normally relies on adalm pluto. In the rig section it would be necessary for example to have 2 fields or the shift box so that you can set the rx and tx frequency on sdrconsole. For example in rx we have 10489.595.000 (downlink) which corresponds to 2400.095.000 (uplink), shift + or - 8089.500, depending on whether i set the frequency of on the file

10489.595 or 2400.095.

Normally for pskreporter we set the uplink frequency so the rig commands should also set the receive frequency (uplink frequency + 8089.500) as if they were in split. As virtual com i'm using a virtual com port program, that communicate with sdrconsole

Do you think it can be added?

So you mean enabling the SPLIT option on your rig ?

I will try with the split, but it would be interesting to be able to set different frequency on 2 different RTX with 2 serial ports. Thank's for your job Irad
