Setting the Center Frequencies in Rocky Ini file

Telling Rocky what center frequencies you want to use is a very simple process. In the Rocky.ini file, there is a section with the heading of [Bands]. In that section, you can specify, on a separate line, each frequency you would like to which you want the radio to tune.

These frequencies will then appear in the frequency dropdown window in Rocky, whereby you specify the center frequency to be used, causing Rocky to calibrate the spectrum display around the selected center frequency and direct the Si570 to produce the appropriate Local Oscillator frequency (i.e., 4 times the selected center frequency).

Coding each line in the [Band] section is simple:

  • code the text that you want to appear in the dropdown window (i.e., what the operator sees) on the left side of the equal sign
  • code the frequency in Hz (i.e., what Rocky "sees") on the right side of the equal sign
