How do I setup my Multi-op network of computers to meet the new CQ WW rule on lockout? The new CQ WW rule: I understand how to set this up when the two radios are connected to one computer, using "Ra
When using more than one computer, either as SO2R or Multi-Op, they must be networked and connected to each other via WriteLog. Use "Link to Network" command which I think is on the WL Setup menu.
I can see where this would work for RTTY where the computer is always doing the sending. How does it handle CW or voice? Again, probably ok when the computer is doing the sending, but what if one of
Good question Randy but I would think SSB and CW should work similar to RTTY. 73, Don AA5AU http://www.aa5au.com http://www.rttycontesting.com I can see where this would work for RTTY where the compu
Some times, One really needs to remember that Locks (of any kind) ONLY keep Honest People Honest! Everyone else just considers them to be a minor annoyance. Sid N0OBM ________________________________
SSB and CW do work the same as RTTY with regard to the lockout in WriteLog. What is different, though, is that CW may be sent by paddle (or, SSB by microphone) and WriteLog has no way of knowing and
Just for clarity, I think it's important to point out that #1 applies to lockout over a network, not when using Writelog's SO2R features with two transmitters connected to the same computer. In the l
Don AA5AU wrote in response to Mark K6UFO: This doesn't answer Mark's original question. How do you set up 4 computers in the network such that lockout is enforced between two or more computers on th
That's right, the lockout is across all computers on the network. From the Help file ... Tools RTTY Single Transmitter Lockout There are two modes for doing transmitter lockout's for RTTY. Both of th
The only method of actual implementation of the 100% lockout is to use an old time octopus. No other method has only one signal on the air with the exception of RTTY on one computer with the setup Ed
The problem with the CQ rule is that it is completely unrealistic for the "multiplier radio" in M/S and M/2. None of the popular software provides a "band aware" interlock function (and interlocks -
Each CQ contest has its own multi-op rules, so you can't make broad generalizations like this. For CQWW, the MS rule actually allows two stations to transmit at the same time. One is the so called "r
Rick's annual rant: Sigh. I sure wish it were legal for a group of ops to take turns operating an SO2R station and call it M/S. No need for a separate mult station, either. The cockamamie ten minute
