    Tnx for the explanation Dave , yes I have to turn the ACOM 500s off when not in use, it makes more noise than all my other 230v power supplies, another problem I have is that it does NOT do BCD Band Data for 160m and 4m, all other bands work fine , I use a FTdx101D and this connection: Skærmbillede 2023-07-17 kl. 18.15.19.png

    The BCD band limitation is because BCD only supports 0 - 9 with 4 bits, so you are limited to supporting 10 bands maximum. The manufacturer decided to not support the lowest and highest bands.

    Thank you very much Jim for the help, it explains everything, and surely there are no other ways that the ACOM 500s can track freq?
