[DXBase] Argonaut V (516) control from DXBase 2004

[Art Searle]

Hi Tom,

Yes the Argonaut V works fine with DXBase with N4PY's software.  I used to
have this radio.  In fact, if you ask Carl I am sure he will tell you I was
the "Bug" finder when he first added the Argonaut to the Pegasus/Jupiter
program and it now works very well.

In the 'Tools', 'Options', 'User Options', 'Radio 1' menu ignore the top
section but make sure 'Connect HF Radio 1 Serial Interface' is NOT checked.

Under 'Non Serial Port Type Interface Radio 1' check 'Pegasus'

In 'File Path'  type or browse to where the pegasus.ini file is in the N4PY
software.

Click OK

As you tune the Argonaut the software updates the pegasus.ini file and
DXbase looks here.  So you can click on cluster spots and DXbase changes
this ini file and N4PY's software changes the Argonaut's frequency.  Click
on the antenna button  in DXbase and N4PY's software picks up the radios
current frequency.  It even works with splits.

73,
