Hi,

Testing results, some issues:
1: Pressing Rng- or Rng+ always jumps the range setting in Mayara server to 16nm and never more or less than this, and not in steps.
2: Stopping the mayara plugin in signalk and then restarting it, resulted that qtvlm disconnected from Mayara (and communicated this well) then reconnected when the plugin started again. However the spokes were not showing, though the TX button did correctly control mayara stopping and starting transmission correctly. Closing the qtvlm radar overlay and then opening it again resolved, and things worked again.
3: Doppler control switches on and off correctly, and is shown both on mayara and on the axiom chartplotter

I will continue testing.

Thank you,
Alex

Hi,
Further testing:
1: Pressing Rn+ Enables Rain clutter in mayara and sets it to 10. Further pressing Rn+ does not increase or chaing the setting.
2: Pressing Rn- Disables the Rain clutter in mayara but does not reduce or change the sensitivity.
3: Pressing the Sea- or Sea+ button has no effect in Mayara it does nothing to the controls.
4: Pressing the Gn+ does nothing if axiom or mayara is already in auto gain mode. If it is not in Auto mode then it sets the Gain to 10 (percent)
5: Pressing Gn- when gain is set to any number or in auto sets the gain to 0, but does not decrease it in steps, it goes from 10 to 0

I dont see a way to set Gain to Auto in the controls in qtvlm even for a direct native (non mayara) connection to Raymarine Quantum 24D Radar.

Testing continues. Screen shot shows the mayara screen in case you havent see that before.

Thank you.
Alex

OK, thanks
The first issue probably (Range locked at 16NM) probably explains the others.
Please try beta17a, available only for Windows to save the time to build on the other platforms, I will do later when all is settled.
I also add an option to return to auto-gain and rain that was missing.

Hi,
Beta 17a on windows:
1: Range adjust ment is now fixed and working as expected.
2: Gain adjustment +/- and set auto is working as expected and follows the chartplotter (axiom)
3: SeaA (auto) is working as expected, and follows changes made on chartplotter (i.e. change Sea Clutter Auto on the chartplotter and see it change on qtvlm and vice versa)

Thats all for now. I will test more over next few days, but fantastic progress for one day.

Thank you again.
Alex
