An updated version of the W2 Interface software is available for download.

Version 1.1.1.1

Windows: http://sight.net/W2/W2_WIN.zip 

Mac: http://sight.net/W2/W2_OSX.zip

- Added "Always on top" option. When selected in SETUP, this option allows the W2 Interface to run as a global floating window. It will stay on top of all other application's windows regardless of which window has focus. Requires closing and restarting the program before taking effect.

- Added support for multiple instances. You can now control multiple W2's by using multiple copies of the program running simultaneously, each with it's own preferences (serial port, window positions, etc). You need to make a copy of the executable file and rename it to whatever name you want to use to identify the W2 it will connect to. For example, you could name one of the executables "W2 K3-HF.exe" and another "W2 Yaesu-VHF.exe". The filename is used to create a unique preferences file and is also displayed in the title bar of the Interface window. There are more elegant ways to do this, and I may further refine it in a future release, but this was relatively easy to implement and works FB. It should be able to handle any number of W2's - IF you have the W2's, a fast PC with lots of RAM, lots of disk space to hold all the .exe's, and lots of serial ports. :-) 

- Numerous internal changes and tweaks.

Enjoy..
