[Dx4win] [microHAM] MicroKeyer2, DX4WIN, HDSDR and Omni-Rig

Mon Jun 24 19:11:42 EDT 2013

Hi Joe,
I have created
an additional port for CAT 2 and set Omni-rig to this port with 1200 ms polling
time (DX4WIN polls each 500ms). All works fine except when I select both Sync
from Omni-Rig and Sync to Omni-rig to be able to set TX to RX-ed frequency but
also to set RX frequency by clicking on the DX4WIN spots. In this case my IC706
starts to "walk" frequencies, like it had gone to the scanning mode....So,
must chose only one way sync...

But,  I am still trying to make my setup
work together: 
1.       To listen with HDSDR and automatically
synchronize frequency of the related TX (FT1000MP/MK2 or IC706/MK1, depending on
which one is switched ON and selected by the Router tabs.  This works OK with HDSDR CAT to Radio via
Omni-Rig
2.       To be able to use DX4WIN for real time
logging w. frequency/mode  and to be able
to click on the DX4WIN spot and set HDSDR RX frequency to this spot (and TX
freq also via the HDSDT-OmniRig sync).  This second feature did not work when I tried to check both HDSDR sync
mode options (sync to and from Omni-Rig) as it created instability.

NOW: I had an idea to make at least  the spotting click work via the CAT control
from DX4WIN to HDSDR: Radio 1 preferences  of DX4WIN were  set to Kenwood
(protocol supported by HDSDR) on CAT COM 11 (created by Router) and the HDSDR
option was configured to control HDSDR  on the same CAT port.

 BUT: as soon I Start the Radio in
DX4WIN, I get the message that the “port is already open” and “radio is
disabled”.    WHY?? What am I missing??

The corresponding Router configs for splitter functions are:
FT1000/MK2/DX4WIN:  CAT1 = COM4,
CAT2:=COM2, PTT:=COM4
IC706/MK1/DX4WIN :  CAT1= COM8,
CAT2= COM3, PTT:=COM4

73, Radi F6GNZ
