[Dx4win] Future of DX4WIN

Sun Oct 18 22:16:42 EDT 2015

DX4WIN works just fine with my Flex-6500 and DDUtil.  I click onb a spot and 
the radio, SteppIR, remote antenna switch go to the spot instantly, it’s a 
beautiful thing to watch....

My only issue is RTTY, if DX4WIN would let me force the mode to RTTY (or any 
other mode)  and not change it when I click on a spot I would again be a 
very happy camper....

Regards, Dennis, k0eoo

Hi John,

The tools to develop a new rig file are all part of DX4WIN; I have no
additional tools to do that.

Over the years, a number of users have created or helped develop new rig
files. The important difference is having access to the radio itself.
