Paul,
I don't think anyone expects you to have every rig that is out
there!....however if you had a rapport with the user group, I am sure
people would volunteer to assist. DXLabs, N1MM+ , Logger32 and others
don't seem to have any problem working with their user group to develop
new rig files and features.
If DX4WIN would attempt stay current with the requests of the user group
(rig files and features), you would have a steady revenue stream but to
allow DX4WIN to stagnate does little but encourage users to move on.
As for the rig development "tools" which are part of DX4WIN, they are
probably somewhere above EXPERT user knowledge.
If it weren't for AD1C's support, DX4WIN would be as useful as DOS 3.1!
IMHO

Hi John,
The tools to develop a new rig file are all part of DX4WIN; I have no
additional tools to do that.
Over the years, a number of users have created or helped develop new rig
files. The important difference is having access to the radio itself.

I certainly agree with you Bob. I put rig control right up there with
working with new OSs. I apologize if I was not completely up to speed with
why there are complaints with DX4WIN. I wasn't aware that Paul is not
updating for new rigs. I'm still using a Ten Tec Omni 6!

I too love DX4WIN......but if you do not have a RIG file that talks to
your radio
what do you do. I assure you NO RIG file and the enjoyment of working DX
and logging in real time is a real turn off.
So go out and buy a NON supported new rig and see how much you then enjoy
your logging program.
One of the huge incentives to buy was RIG control.
Think about not being able to use your rig with DX4WIN then think about
how
you would feel.
I bought a RIG control program from N4PY that allows it to communicate
with dx4win and fldigi. The N4PY program is amazing. Try the demo.
Beautiful radio interface.
And I paid for it.
And again all I am saying is please give us a current statement of
intentions.
I bought the program back in 2.0 have had other rigs and RIG files were
added
and supported. Really a comment from Paul is not too much to ask. IMHO.
And don't give me the "well just move on crap". Paul should be the one to
tell me this at least. No one else.

Just to add my two cents, I love this program. It does everything that
I want it to do. For my part I hope that it never goes away because I
don't need the excitement of learning new software to keep my interest in
amateur radio. I've been down the road of asking how this work or how that
works, how do I do this or how do I do that. For me that is just
frustrating. I don't criticize those that want new digital modes or just
want to play with something new but for my money as long as it loads with
the new OSs from Microsoft I'm a happy customer. Just saying...

HI All,
Maybe, if Paul is not in position to update the program, we on this
list could buy access to the source code and arrange to move it forward as
a not for profit operation. The details could be tricky to work out but it
seems feasible if Paul is interested, and if we can make it good enough to
again attract new users who would pay to join this project. I have
something like N1MM but with a paid programer(s) involved.
Thanks,
William Osborne--K5ZQ
