It is not possible to open two Extio dll's simultaneously in Winrad. It is possible to integrate several functions in one dll but someone must write the software. >This way I can change the bands on > my softrock and get the ICOM IC-746 to sync its frequency with the > softrock. To change the AVR/SI570 frequency you can use the original software of DG8SAQ http://www.mydarc.de/dg8saq/ <http://www.mydarc.de/dg8saq/> and Extio_Icom.dll to sync the IC746. It is good to have "Always on top" mode for DG8SAQ window since Winrad occupies the total desktop screen and task switching is not straight forward. "Always on top" means that this window can not be hidden by other application it stays always on top. I have found in the Net numerous programs that can be used to implement "Always on top" function. I tested "Power Menu" http://www.abstractpath.com/weblog/ <http://www.abstractpath.com/weblog/> and it works quite well. >I already use alone HRD with success.

You do not need to run HRD but you can still can use HRD simultaneously with Winrad and EXTIO_Icom if you want. You can share 1 physical com port with many Windows applications by using "Splitter port". See again in my article about this possibility and look at www.eterlogic.com <http://www.eterlogic.com/> . >Going back to > your latest .dll I am unsure what to set the latter settings to as my > radio does not display them.

You should type in ComSettings.cfg number 86 which is decimal equivalent of 56 hexadecimal. This is the address of IC746. I uploaded the source files of EXTIO_Icom.dll in LZ1AQ folder in this forum. I hope this will ease the man who will take the idea of Steve to design a combined DLL which will control both TRX and SDR oscillator. 73 Chavdar [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> www.lz1aq.sigancor.com <http://www.lz1aq.sigancor.com/> >
