[Dx4win] Band/mode tracking
Hi Mark, I have had my FT920 since ver. 4.x and am currently on 5.3 and I can't remember seeing this phenomenon. I have had on occasion where the rig seemed to lock up and had to re-boot the computer and shut off the radio to get them conversing again although this has been very rare over the years. 73, Todd WM8C's Ham Links More http://wm8c.0catch.com http://www.angelfire.com/mi2/wm8c http://www.qsl.net/wm8c - Original Message - From: Mark Endorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 8:07 PM Subject: [Dx4win] Band/mode tracking Just an observation that I thought I would share. I noticed sometime after trying to work the Ducie operation split on 15M, the frequency and mode in real time logging were not being displayed in DX4WIN correctly. Using an FT-920 with VFO A on the receive frequency, and VFO B on my transmit frequency, I would periodically change bands on the receive VFO to check on the other Ducie station. At the end of the evening DX4WIN only showed 15M SSB, no mater what band, mode, or VFO combination I tried. I had to correct several QSO's by memory, that all were logged as 15M-SSB. It got fixed by turning the rig and computer off, then back on again. Anyone else seen this? DX4WIN or FT-920 problem?

[Dx4win] PTT support by DX4WIN for FT1000MP
Using Windows 2000, I am using DTR on the Radio Com Port for CW keying through an opti-isolator on a FT1000MP. Is PTT supported by DX4WIN directly as a command to the radio (OPCODE OFH), support RTS for the PTT, or some other way other than the LPT port? The CW keying is working great (except the focus has to be on the function key window to operate), but have not been able to get the proper PTT operation working. It also seems that when DX4WIN uses the DTR line to send CW, it does not use the RTS line to do PTT. Also when running PSK31, the PTT must be on a separate Com port than the radio. If I am going to have to devote TWO Com Ports to the radio, then I will use the first for radio control and cw keying from the DTR line and the second Com port for PTT from the RTS line and FSK keying from the Tx line. DX4WIN does not appear to support a second Com port for PTT (or any Com port for that matter). PTT, fortunately, works great in WriteLog which handles Com Ports with a selection matrix which allows you to use any combination of Com ports for CW keying, Radio Control, and PTT. Am I missing something or does DX4WIN require 2 com ports to run PSK31 with radio control and PTT and DX4WIN will not do PTT with cw keying on a Com Port? I prefer NOT to use the Line Printer (LPT) ports for this, or any other function, other than printing.
