Bill,

You can change Dxbase 2005 CW default mode to LCW for the Orion by doing the
following:

You are going to modify Dxbase's 'radios.ini' file located in
YourDrive:/Scientific Solutions/Dxbase folder.  


FIRST!!!!!!!!!!  SAVE A COPY OF THE RADIOS.INI FILE TO A SAFE PLACE.


Using NotePad or any TXT Editor open the file 'radios.ini'.

Scroll down to the radio script labeled [TENTEC_ORION565]

Change The equal values in the following lines:


P_CW=2 to 3
P_CWR=3 to 2
 
CW=2 to 3
CWR=3 to 2

DefaultCW=2 to 3
DefaultCWR=3 to 2

Also, note that Dxbase 2005 does allow you to switch the CW modes (CW
(default) or CWR) using 'Set HF Frequency' located under Tools.  However,
this tool uses the dafault CW and CWR settings in the radios.ini file.  It
does not 'switch' from one CW mode to the other on a permanent basis.  To
switch the CW mode for a particular station  Click the Set HF Frequency
Retrieve button and select CWR (or CW) under mode, and then click the QSY
button.

I briefly tested the above settings and seem to work OK here.  Let me know
if you have any problems

REMEMBER, SAVE the RADIOS.INI FILE BEFORE MODIFYING IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been using DXbase for several years and must have changed a setting
and have been unable to figure out what I changed. 

Using either Commander, N4PY or Ham Radio deluxe I am able to band switch my
Icom Rig along with my SteppIr Beam. In other words all track together, when
the rig changes bands and so does the Steppir. 

Now, DXBase 2005 would do the same but I have noticed recently the rig will
band switch but not the Steppir.

Somewhere I must have changed a needed setting in the DXBase program. I am
open for suggestions.
