[Dx4win] Modifying radio commands....

[Floyd Sense]

I recently had this question: With an Icom 765, when I mouse on a CW DX
spot, the wide filter is automatically selected.   I wanted the narrow
filter to be selected in this case, so the question was: How to do that?
Here's how I accomplished it with the Icom 765.

1. In the DX4WIN/SAVE directory, I found the file called Icom 765.rig and
renamed it "Icom 765CWWide.rig" and made a copy and named it "Icom
765CWNarrow.rig".

2. From the DX4WIN File menu, I went to Databases / Radios and selected
"Icom 765CWWide" as the Radio model.  This was just to make sure that
everything still worked after the name change.  Note that after editing the
radio information, DX4WIN disables the Radio communications and you'll have
to go to File / Preferences / Radio and specify the Type. I used "Icom
765CWWide" here.  After this, the wide filter was selected on CW spots just
as before.

3. I then went to File / Datebases / Radios and selected "Icom 765CWNarrow"
as my Radio model.  Next, I went to the Cmds/Fields tab and selected the Set
Mode command from the pull-down list.  The command string that appears just
below is: 0600FD.  I changed that to 060002FD.  The "02" causes the narrow
filter to be selected.  I then saved the change by File / Save Changes and
Exit.

4. At this point, I had to go back to File / Preferences again and set the
radio model to "Icom 765CWNarrow".  After DX4WIN was again communicating
with the 765, mousing on a CW DX spot caused the narrow CW filter to be
selected.  If I want to go back to having the wide filter selected, I just
change the radio model to "Icom 765CWWide".

I strongly suggest you make a backup copy of the .rig file you're dealing
with before making changes via the editor.
