I doubt that any of the popular contest logging programs (e.g. N1MM Logger, Writelog) are going to work with Omni-Rig. Omni-Rig does not expose a transparent serial port interface that would make all of a rig's CAT commands accessible to multiple (unmodified) programs. Omni-Rig requires using a COM/OLE programming interface to send the rig most CAT commands.
We need a solution like N8LP and HB9DRV have been talking about lately. 73, Barry N1EU Tom AK2B wrote: > > "Software that interfaces to rigs over the single RS-232 port need to > learn to play with each other.
