Rig Control issue -- split tx/rx

I am using a Yaesu FTDX3000 with omnirig 1.2 on the latest version of VarAC (5.02) and VARA HF 4.6.2. All is working as expected except when VarAC changes frequency for me, it splits the TX to the VFO B and I have to push the tx button to get it back to VFO A ... Receive stays put, but any time rig control chanes frequency, it splits ...

Anyone else have this problem? and it so, is there a solution? I have missed a few connections because of it ... I am becoming used to checking it now, so it happens less frequently, but I don't think it should do that ...

I have checked the settings on the rig and there is nothing I can see that could cause it... and there is very little I can change on OmniRig ... unless there are more settings I just have not found ...

Any help would be appreciated ... Thanx,

yes you can edit the cat command files of your rig in OmniRig. and Also VarAC direct cat commands are editable.

OK ... after a little swearing (at myself for not getting rid of Omnirig first), I think I have it all working pretty well with direct control after downloading the latest rig contol .ini file .... I have to use DTR/RTS for PTT control and all is well ... and there is no more split happening ...

Thanx for the help ... and keep up the good work on the program ... I absolutely love it ...

Thank you!! Did was happening with my FTDX10 after changing from FT8 to operate VarAC. It was keeping the Split Setting. DTR/RST enable is the fix.
