Yes, I've discovered a bug related to the modulation meter that is available only in native v4 modes.
Is already fixed. v4b9 will be released later today with some small changes and bug fixes.
Ok nice ... i am glad i could help in discovering that
Does this happen when you connect remotely or directly to the radio?
Currently if a parameter read from the radio does not change, interface is not updated, with the exception of meter, which goes to 0. This may be the case. Maybe I have to revisit the meter smoothing mechanism.
You can observe this in Configuration builder, If you send command "READ_SWR", the current value is displayed on the meter for a few moments, then automatically goes slowly to 0.
In FM mode, the power is constant during Tx, so the meter may go to 0. I will change this in the next release.
Yes it happens with directly connection to the radio and not remotely. Perhaps you could smoothen the meter a bit... As for the TX power...specially in FM or AM modes.... the meter when in PWR should always be kept there when PTT on.
I already modified the FT450 config in the repository for this purpose.
Oh that is nice... but would this be ok for all users ? I mean... this sort of configuration which is in my preference might not be OK for another user of pocketrxtx... Unless you could perhaps add a toggle for that in settings menu of Jarec ... something like "Keep Radio ON while connecting ?" . So when this toggle is enabled... it will automatically update the configuration file. If not, then the defaults values will be kept - which means they will be empty.
