[LOGic] issue with 2 rigs

[George Vagner]

Sorry guys I didn't realize that "no bus" meant separate settings
For each radio, I just thought it was another protocol entirely.

As a matter of fact I didn't think that it would have any bearing on the com
port I selected, if I wanted to use the bus driver I would select the same
com port for both rigs.

When I look at the pull down I see it as "what protocol do I want to use to
talk to the rig" not "logic is going to force you to use one com port for
all the icom rigs"

I took  the word "activate" to mean that both were active at the same time.
That's what I meant there and wanted to clarify what he was really doing..

Sorry Ben, I don't really understand the question.

Let me just point out that if you define 2 Icoms and DON'T use the nobus 
driver for the second rig, it will ignore the COM port setting and use 
the same COM port as rig 1 The drivers with nobus allow an independant 
setting for the COM port. This has no bearing on switching between 2 
rigs... and these comments ONLY pertain to Icom drivers. It's probably 
time Dennis tidied up the Icom drivers a bit as it is confusing... I 
think there is only basically 2 drivers and he has compiled a bunch of 
versions with minor parameter changes. I think he easily reduce it to 2 
drivers... and maybe even one with a bit of ingenuity.
