Guys, Right now I do normal day to day operation with DXB.
I have a special problem and I?m hoping there can be some resolution for it. I?m active on HF and do weak signal work on the most common VHF and UHF bands. I think you could visualize a logging problem for a single operator station that wants to be able to monitor HF thru 1296 simultaneously, select a radio and log a QSO. In my station this means SO6R. My shack computer has 10 com ports in it, so it?s capable of doing just about anything I need to do I?m in process of switching from a multiple all-mode setup to IC-756PROIII radios with individual converters for 144, 222, 432 and 1296. A problem using transverters instead of all-modes is you have a frequency offset the software can?t read. If you are on 144.000 the rig will be reading 28.000MHz. On 432.000 it would also read 28.000MHz. While I can keep the radios square in my mind, the logger would indicate 28MHz no matter what radio combo / band was selected. It would be nifty to have a programmable frequency offset per radio port and a button on the menu bar for each radio to activate it. The next feature that would be neat is a frequency window or windows showing the frequency of the selected radio. This would make the Offset issue almost mute. Let?s add a couple rotors too To recap: 1. 6 radio interfaces 2. Selectable transverter offsets per port in 1.000MHz increments with a quick activate menu button. 3. Running frequency readout window for the radios. 4. Four rotors Thanks for the opportunity to discuss this. Bob Bonner K?DD
