Rick -- Why not set the rig control software window to full screen
view... then minimize it to the task bar until you really want it ...
and maximize it for a moment, make any changes or check any information
you need, and minimize when you want to restore to your usual
multi-window logging view. You don't need to have the computer control
view up all the time... but it could be there when and if you ever want
it. If not, it just coasts along in the background, as if it was
closed... yet available instantly if you desire.
So, why would you want to this in the first place? OK, say for
example, I want to use N4PY to manage the way the rig sends band and
frequency and mode information to my logging program, and to manage
other devices, such as an auto tuner, rotator, and so forth. I can
modify the radio with the computer, if I like, and I minimize N4PY until
I need it, yet it will manage the information sharing in the
background. The logger will use it, and so will the tuner and rotator,
and I will usually adjust tuning, bandwidth, passband, NR, and other
stuff from the front panel of the radio OR from N4PY if I maximize it.
That way, you can have your usual logging view AND occasionally have
computer based rig data and control if you want it, and N4PY seems very
stable and good a managing the rig data to all the peripheral devices.
That could give you computer control, if and when you want it, and you
give up nothing on your usual display.
N'est ce pas ?
