[Dx4win] Future of DX4WIN

Mon Oct 19 05:01:07 EDT 2015

Look at n4py.com it does all that.
And thats what I'm talking about. The ability to use your radio in that fashion.
There is NO RIG file for a FT-991.
I stumbled on N4PY's software and I now have a better experience then just getting a RIG FILE. Like you said it's a beautiful thing to watch...
