I am, as usual, having just a TAD bit of trouble understanding how the DX4Win rotor control Tab is supposed to work. I can manually get the DX4Win rotor page to turn the Green Heron Controller for my M2 ORION 2800 rotor but shouldnt the ROTOR Parameters be filled in automatically when I click on a spot? I am using Win7/64 and clicking on a spot in DX4Win loads the band parameters, mode etc into the logging screen from the Elecraft K3 connected to DX4Win via LP-Bridge virtual port. However the Band info and beam heading information from the spot I click on is not being transferred to the DX4Win rotor screen? Isnt it supposed to be?
The Green Heron rotor controller is connected to the PC via a direct serial port connection (serial port 2) and this is the port I defined in the DX4Win rotor parameters. I tried controlling the rotor from DX4Win via another virtual port in LP-Bridge but this didnt work either.
Manually I can enter in beam headings, and the proper Band that is enabled for a rotor, in the DX4Win rotor screen then hit F11 and the rotor turns but I cant get DX4Win to populate the rotor and Band info automatically by clicking on a spot.
Is all this clear as mud yet?
Thanks for any help
