[Dx4win] Rig files... more questions.

[Alan Sewell]

Walt,

Having just stumbled through setting up an Omni VII rig file I think I 
can answer a couple of these.

I don't know how the filter selection is handled.

The RMUL & WMUL are the Read Freq and Write Freq multipliers.  They are 
usually one but if a rig reads & writes a multiple of the frequency this 
can be used to adjust it.

RITSCL is the same as RMUL & WMUL except it is for the RIT.

I would suggest you take a look at the radio database editor in DX4WIN.  
There is also a Test tab in the editor that you can see what the program 
is sending to the radio and what the radio is returning.

73,
