It would be pretty easy to integrate this functionality into PowerSDR. Along with vCOM it will allow you to run CAT to any/multiple of the virtual or hardware com ports on the system as well as do CAT between computers over the network. I had a checkbox to allow you to designate which com ports only 'listened' on the CAT line and which one had control. With the bridge you would have to run multiple instances to cross connect more than two com ports at a time, but this could be extended to as many com ports that are available on the computer where the bridge is running.
I used it with HRD controlling and MixW listening and logging at the same time before my SDR-1000 PIO board started giving me fits. 73 de Phil N8VB On 9/23/06, Tim Ellison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have seen a rig run multiple devices, but all of then were Icom CI-V > (TTL) using the CT-17 (CI-V bus) and the radio was in "CI-V transceiver" > mode. > > I'd REALLY like to see Phil's TCP->Serial Bridge or something analogous > included in the new version of CAT.
