[Dx4win] omnirig

[ON4AOI]

Hi Kostas and others,
Paul and I discussed the problems with the OMNI VII
Earlier this week but we didn´t have one to test with,
The mayor problem with this rig is the commands that
Tentec use (example |=CR - vertical bar = carriage return)
Since no other radio use these shortcuts or whatever you call them
They are not recognized in DX4WIN (for the moment being)

After reading the last mail this morning I drove 300 KM 
To pick up a omni VII from a friend to debug all the possibilities
With Paul. (maybe later today or this week) 

Since I didn´t have the original supplied serial cable brought with me
I took a straight (working) serial cable like they write in there manual,
But this doesn´t work !!!!!!!!!!!!!! (works ok with my LP100A) tried with
several programs.
Got it working with a trusted USB to serial converter where I can arrange
the pins
Only 5 connections are needed btw.
(If I wasn´t smarter I could have start yelling stupid programs
They never work etc etc).
Most of the time the problems with radios or other connected items 
is not software related but a hardware problem.
I had 10 or even more(different brands) USB to serial adapters but only one
brand
Does the job 100% correct. 
With hyperterminal and a loopback dongle you can check if all your hardware 
Is working perfect.  


BTW Kostas A serial port in your computer can only be used 1 time.
Dx4win checks if available and use it if configured in your preferences
otherwise it gives you a message not available etc.

Back to the OMNI VII now and see what can be changed in the different
rigfiles I have from
Some users (K5NA-G4RQI)

i have seen that many have problems one or other way with rig control. 
Dx4win is not the problem the most of the time. But maybe it's time Paul and

dx4win supports omnirig, a free cat control program. It would be an 
alternative in every case... Either for a new rig or even to check if there 
is a problem in dx4win or in your radio (this can be done and today). 
Besides this someone will have the ability to run 2 programs which both 
support omnirig the same time... Just a wish.... see omnirig here
