[Dx4win] Rigblaster Pro Interface

[J.F. Samuels]

I do not have everything set up right now, but when I did I ended up using a
cable directly from a serial port to my rig, not through the RigBlaster Pro
- this worked for me, but needed an extra serial port.  The ports going to
the RigBlaster Pro were SER A for PTT/CW and SER B for MixW, MMTTY FSK.  I
had to modify the internal jumpering in the RigBlaster Pro a bit to allow
FSK on Serial B.

 

The Serial B port has only three connections: Receive Data, Transmit Data
and Ground.  This is not enough to communicate with a radio!  I do not know
why they did not pass the connections through from Serial A.

Hi everyone.

 

I am using a Rig Blaster Pro with a Yaesu FT-950. All functions of the Rig
Blaster work as expected.

 

But in setting up the Rig Blaster pro as described in the manuals, the
ability of having DX4WIN follow the band and mode changes of the radio has
been lost.

 

Is anyone out there using a Rig Blaster Pro with any radio and STILL have
DX4WIN automated response to the radio's mode? 

 

By that I mean that when using the Rig Blaster for digital modes, the DX4WIN
software tracks band, mode, etc.
