Possible issue with reading radio and switch position
Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2025 2:18 pm
So as per my other post, I was setting up my new virtual 9 position switch in OpConfig. When I went to do this under the Radio tab, I pressed Read Radio, set Type to Digital (switch) and set Positions to 9. However, when I flipped the switches while it read the ms position correctly, the labeled position always said Pos 1. This was the same with Positions set to 8 and 7. But, when I set Positions to 6, it read the positions correctly Pos 1 through Pos 6.
However, if I left Positions at 9 anyways and went to the Functions tab, I was able to select the channel and assign functions to 9 different positions. After I assigned functions to the positions I wanted, I did Snoop and all of the positions and their functions worked as expected.
So there may just be a labeling issue for switches with Positions greater than 6 in the Radio tab, but it still works, it just looks like it doesn’t when you read the radio.
