[Dx4win] IC775DSP/CT-17 vs DX4WIN

Tue, 10 Dec 2002 21:10:12 -0500

I'm not so sure that is a good idea Jim. I discovered this problem when
going back through my log and found a few QSO's on bizarre
frequencies... Sometimes the "bobble" strikes just as you log the QSO...
Tranceive really should be off with DX4WIN...

I used CT also... So I just put a reminder in the batch file that
started CT... Something like... 

@ECHO "Is the tranceive mode set?"
@PAUSE

It's not a problem with newer rigs... But some of the older ones are a
little difficult to switch transceive on and off... It really would be
nice if DX4WIN worked like CT, YPLog and Writelog... On my wish list...

My IC-756 Pro works with the radio "transceive" setting in either 
position.  However, when it's on, the band/mode display in DX4WIN can 
"bobble" while tuning the dial (temporarily go to strange 
bands/modes).  When transceive is off, it's rock solid.  However, I must

remember to turn  it back on when running CT, which expects the radio to

"babble" frequency when the VFO knob is turned.
