If the goal is to have a contester's dongle that you drop into a rig when you set down and then remove it afterwards, just restoring the personal settings (not the rig calibration settings) over the CAT protocol should be fairly easy, given that the KIO3 protocol for reading values is documented.
Simon HB9DRV has already said he's doing this for Ham Radio Deluxe, but for a dongle, a PIC or Atmel ought to be able to do this easily. But I remembered seeing ads for this $25 device in Nuts and Volts, and always wanted a reason to buy one. It's a 386-compatible system with flash memory that's built into a DB9 dongle, and it gets its power from the RS232 port. http://www.star.net/people/~mvs/ http://www.star.net/people/~mvs/tpcspec.txt Leigh/WA5ZNU _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
