There's a fair amount of programming information on the RigExpert
website, in fact. I'm don't know enough about programming to know if
it's complete enough, but it sure indicates to me that the will is
there.
I know it means I'll be using MixW for general reading the mail, and
for such modes as PSK, MFSK and MT63. Writelog is really the best for
contesting, though, and with the MMTTY plugin is difficult to beat,
but YMMV.

I would think this the logical way to go. Especially with all the PTT/CW
keying setup problems I see popping up all the time. One USB and thats it
for everything. I may order one and just use MixW for everything, though I
am waiting to hear back from Dennis at LoGic (PDA) to see if he can
implement it. I would not think it would be that hard...If they can do it
in MixW, should be able to support it in other programs as well. MixW would
probably support any interfacing questions for other programmers too as it
would probably sell alot more of the interfaces. Who knows.

I've got one of these ordered, and even with only MixW support it'll
be useful. But I agree that having support for it in MMTTY and WL
would be a real winner. I know I've posted here about it.
Who else can we push on?

There is a new USB interface box that looks great by MixW, called MixW
Rig
expert. No longer need the computer's internal sound card and provides
CAT,
PTT and CW all from one USB port. Unfortunately, as of now WL does not
plan
to support it. Maybe if enough people ask, they might.
It's a little pricey at $200, but a nice all-in-one solution. I would
probably get one if WL and MMTTY supported it.

[ QSP from GW4BLE]
Thanks to everyone who replied on this topic of a week or so ago. Most
also
copied direct to the reflector which is most appreciated.
Consensus appears to be, that although *rig* control via USB should be
fine
there is no guarantee of this being the case for keyer command timing and
that currently a single serial port should be used, although USB 2.0
*might
* be acceptable.
Fortunately, my recently ordered new PC, has a single serial port (plus
PCI
expansion for more) so until such time that USB<>serial connection
transfers
are improved I should be OK ;-)
