Neal, There are a number of minor issues I would like to see addressed when DxBase is used with my microHAM SO2R+ interface.
First, there are times I only need DxBase to work on my QSL card responses or the DxB data base(es) and have no need to 'fire-up' the rig. When I do this with the microHAM interface powered off and/or mH router not running, rig connection is turned off automatically by DxB. Needless to say it is hassle to reconnect the rigs when I next go on the air. Along the same train of thought there is no way to see if the Rig is connected without entering a call on the log book entry line or going into DxB set-up. It would be great to see the status of frequency/band or mode reported directly from the rig. Next, two-way CW speed control would be a nice addition. That is to say at the moment I can use DXB to change CW speed but the pot on the mH keyer does not echo back to DxBase. I run the microHAM SO2R+ interface. It would be great if DxB would switch rigs (TX Focus) when I choose Rig 1 or Rig 2. If you toss in headphone routing and you will win the hearts of all us SO2R Ops. The CW Transmit Window in DxB does not work properly. I suspect that it does not work with any interface. For example if I use the TX window it only echoes one character at a time. There is NO type-ahead buffer displayed. Last, there is no doubt this is NOT a mH issue. Could you please look into the marriage of MMTTY and MMVARI directly with DxBase. Yes I know of, and use the 'Bridge Software' but unlike contest software DxB in this configuration does not give an instant response to a call being entered and looked up in the logbook.
