[Dx4win] DX4WIN/CW Skimmer/SDR RX controlling "slave radio" TX frequency

[Radivoj Kar, F6GNZ]

Just added following feature:
In order to work without CW Skimmer, listening on the SDR on SSB/CW and using FT1000MP for transmit, keeping it synchronized with the SDR, I connected Secondary CAT port, programmed for control of my SDR RX, to the RCP3 of DDUtil, via another virtual cable. When not using CW Skimmer, I disable VAC in SDR Console and enable Secondary CAT of the Commander, selecting "lead primary". This is not a very fast procedure, but works perfectly.73, Radi F6GNZ

 Some time ago I was kicking my head how to listen permanently to DX-ped's frequency, while being able to select any QSX TX frequency by click on the Skimmer, even with QSX going beyond the +12kHz Skimmer's range. And just found a solution which I wish to share with anybody interested:

I kept SDR RX controlled by DX4WIN and Skimmer via RCP1 and RCP2 of DDUtil, but instead of controlling 1000MP from the "slave radio" port of DDUtil, I have installed the DXLab's Commander and W3OA's Skimmer-to-Commander. I programmed Commander to control the FT1000MP via CAT1 port of the microHAM Router, and connected Skimmer-to Commander to Skimmer's Telnet Localport 701 (which was programmed in Skimmer's Telnet Tab, where also the "allow skimmer commands" was checked).
Now, in Telnet-to-Commander window, I can select whether the click on Skimmer's frequency sets vfoA or vfoB of the 1000MP, so I can now permanently listen DX-ped frequency on Main RX vfoA and transmit on any QSX frequency selected on Skimmer via vfoB of the 1000MP ! The Commander and StC can be then left hidden on the Taskbar!
Hope this may be useful for others.
Best 73, Radi F6GNZ
