  • dark theme implemented
After several unsuccessful attempts, I finally made the dark theme work. Enjoy!


Also, note that the download now is an executable installer, not a zip. Some sources say this reduces the risk of antivirus false detections - we will see if it works.

I have been using Skycatd V1.7 along with Skyroof 1.50.  
When we select the CTCSS 67.0 Khz from the dropdown menu, will the Radio - IC9700 in my case,  display "TONE" symbol as selected ? When I manually select this, on engaging the CAT it goes away.  As a result I am not able to access the repeater. 
Any way round ?

The TONE symbol on the radio screen is shown when it is enabled, and not shown when it is disabled. Make sure you enable it  in the SkyRoof menu  as described in User's Guide, for each satellite that requires it.

Thank you very much for your quick response.  The RX and TX CAT work perfectly with the radio. The tone selection indication on the radio is not appearing. In case i select it manually on engaging  CAT it goes away.  IC9700 has the latest version 1.50.  I have updated SkyRoof to V1.5.  In case you need any other information to resolve do let me know.

Ram, the tone mark disappears because it is disabled in SkyRoof. You MUST enable it in SkyRoof to make it work.

Hai Alex, 
That is what I am attempting, but not happening.  TONE is not appearing on the radio.
Screen grab is enclosed.

Yes Alex, that is what I am doing. The screen shot that I have attached shows 67.0 selected and not showing on the radio.

The Enabled entry at the top of the menu does not have a check mark next to it, this means that you did not click on it. Once you click, the tone function will be enabled.
