Good evening, all: If you have a floppy disk drive, two blank floppy disks, and an internet connection, you can find out if your computer BIOS will boot DOS and allow you to run CT or TR from a USB s
Hi again, Lee: The parallel port keying works fine as long as you have a "real" parallel port and not just a USB adapter. Built-in serial ports work fine as well. 73, Mark ___________________________
Hi Don: I believe it basically won't work at all...that's why you are seeing all of my postings about booting DOS on new computers! I'm running TR on new computers, but I'm running it under DOS. Wind
Good morning, all: Mal, N7MAL, mentioned to me a much easier way to create a bootable DOS CD. If you have Roxio Easy CD Creator (which I have pre-installed) on my Dell laptop computer (I have Version
Good afternoon, all: I have a computer which, when I boot DOS, does not see the USB stick plugged into the computer. Thanks to Patrick, PA5AEI, I now have the USB stick running under DOS. I'm actuall
Good day, all: I've been fiddling with bootable DOS CD's. I can make a CD which will boot DOS and run TR or CT. The log can be saved to a USB stick. I have successfully gotten CT running under FreeDO
Hi Dave: You mean something like (in dave.bat): echo **TURN OFF RADIOS** pause tr ? Pause types out "Press any key to continue . . ." 73, Mark, KD4D _______________________________________________ Tr
Hi Tree: I believe Dave was complaining about the serial port, not the parallel port. A friend of mine was having problems with initialization of the parallel port (using a different program that ass
Hello, again: the keying line on his serial port. So, this would clear it but TR would reassert it. The line is apparently not asserted before he runs the batch file and starts TR... The lpt1init pro
Hi David: This works well. Also, if you install a boot loader (I suggest GAG) then you can get an on-screen prompt for which operating system you want to run (Press 1 or 2) and can set one up as a de
Hi David: Very interesting. Thank!. I don't believe CT supports shared IRQ's. There, the Byterunner driver may have the advantage, but it costs A LOT more. :-) Can anyone verify that the new "IRQ-awa
Good day, all: I just hooked up TR679 with two Orion's for WPX CW. The rig control is unreliable...it starts out OK, but loses communication (receiving data) from both radios rather quickly. I have u
Good day, all: Datapol has made their NTFS4DOS program freeware! This program allows read and WRITE access to NTFS partitions from DOS. This means you can create a bootable DOS CD, boot from it, and
Hi all: Is anyone successfully using TR679 (last released version) to control two Orions? I have used it several times with one, but it quits reading the radios in a minute or so when I hook up two.
Good day, all: I played a bit more with the Orion and TR679 Friday before the WPX contest. I was unable to get rig control working reliably. I wonder if this could be related to the firmware version?
Okay, I figured out why TR6.79 all the sudden started having rig control problems with two Orions. If "FILTER RADIO MESSAGE LENGTH = TRUE", the frequency displays on TR for the Orions dissappear with
Good afternoon, all: I believe I have solved the problem of running DOS on new computers! All my single-op contest efforts are now done using a DOS logging program and most of them are done using new

Hi Doc: You may want to look at sourceforge.net for hosting. Several open source projects are using it. (See http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=6025&group_id=1) I hope they would acc
Good day, all: Thanks to the kindness of Datapol gmbh in Germany and the power of FreeDOS, I am announcing the Alpha test version 1.0 of the DOS Contesting LiveCD. I need volunteers to test this and
