You might want to consider PCMCIA serial ports. They seem to be available on EBay for reasonable prices, and work very well, in my opinion. Be careful about OS compatibity, though. 73, doug I have a
I've got that too. I'd suspect it's tied to the "cut" numbers trick for CW, but I have no translations set. ZF2NT became ZF2N0 4 times. 73, doug I just noticed when I checked my cabrillo file for sub
I didn't have that many QTC's, so I could find these calls munged: WA2ETU, ZF2NT, W3UTD, WX4TM, W1TO, K8UT, W0ETC, and JM1NKT. 73, doug _______________________________________________ WriteLog mailin
Is that only for CW "cut" numbers, or does it also work for RTTY where 100 would be QPP? And for cut numbers, is it dependent on having the cuts defined in Writelog.ini? The more I do with WL, the mo
Makes sense - but: Are there any rigs, rotors, etc. that have USB interfaces? (the USB version shouldn't really matter for the type of devices we'd be talking about). I don't know of any ... USB thin
I have no problem with the mailing list, as is. It's configured exactly right for me. Sounds like a "Weekly World News" exposure to me. 73, doug Dear WriteLog "Reflector" users: I have discovered sev
There is a great way of filtering for messages from this reflector: Whitelist messages with "[Writelog]" in the subject line. Any competent software (and user) will do this. 73, doug If you're really
I know how to set the messages on the buttons in the Entry Window for RTTY and CW. But I've now discovered that when in SSB mode, they will key the transmitter, when WL is setup for soundcard DVK. Ca
That doesn't seem to work. I put "<MSG2.WAV>" just like in F2, but nothing happens beyond the TX keying. F2 works just fine. And if I put a non-existent .WAV file, like "<MSG23.WAV>", I don't get an
But for the "buttons" of which I'm speaking, the ones with the labels "NR", "P", etc. in the QSO ENTRY window, shift-click brings up the CW/RTTY key definition window. If I put "<MSG2.WAV>" in there,
I can't give a lot of help, but a couple of us locally, not CW operators but RTTY ops, used the WL Rittyrite CW decoder to make a few hundred contacts each during the CW SS. It wasn't perfect, but it
People might want to look at the USB interface on the MixW website. http://www.mixw.net/RigExpert/index.html It won't do two radio contesting, but for us one radio people, it looks interesting. It se
I'm using Socket serial ports for FSK and rig control in Sony, IBM, Toshiba and Twinhead laptops, and in a Gateway All-in-one computer. They seem to work fine, under W98, at least. I have one single
One idea regarding USB and serial connections: I realise that most new laptops have USB, may not have any serial, could have firewire or even Ethernet and usually have PCMCIA slots. I'm not aware of
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 el
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
You seem to have two l's at the end. The official command has one. 73, doug All; I am a brand new Writelog User. I am trying to implement CT Compatible mode so I can use the F1 key. I have entered th
This is the IC that the RigExpert uses to provide a complete digital mode interface on a USB port. It only works with MixW and DigiPan currently, but we can hope for MMTTY support. 73, doug "The proj
Unfortunately, the RigExpert does NOT look like a soundcard to Windows. It looks like a serial port, but has got an "soundcard" internally that MixW and Digipan can use. It's also got outputs for rig
Note the the RigExpert also provides a substitute for the sound card, and level conversions for all the possibilities of control signals that I know of, including lines for CW keying, PTT, FSK, and r
