Re: [Dx4win] FT-991 RIG FILE
Hi Joe, I tried your FT-991 rig file and this is what happens. Clicking on a dx spot 14,089.5 the radio sets 140.895 vhf. ONCE the radio freq is set it will NOT change by clicking other spots on dx spotting cluster. Clicking on a CW spot sets theRADIO MODE to CW Clicking on a RTTY spot sets theRADIO MODE to RTTY. NOTE: that when clicking a spot the QSO window in DX4WIN DOES set the FREQ (khz) in the little window next to GROUP. Interesting it's setting the freq there but not changing the radio freq. NOTE: Rig files for N1mm, HRD, FLDIGI, have been written and work in those programs. I would think a RIG file for DX4WIN from Paul would not be that hard to provide. Thanks for your efforts. Bob Below is FTdx3000 rig file as tested a few days ago: It was working as below. On 3/30/2015 8:49 AM, bob wrote: Hi Joe, Well progress. 1. I changed the radio and dx4win options as advised. 2. I turned off the radio and started DX4win and then started the radio. 3. I can click on DX SPOTS and the MODE is set. 4. When selecting a DX SPOT that has a split it SETS XIT/RIT. 4. THE FREQ DOES NOTHING no changes. So MODE is set, SPLIT mode is set, BUT no freq changes. Cool.were getting somewhere. I patiently wait your next instructions.
