Separate feeds all bands for station flexibility.
First time using WRITELOG. Outstanding and very flexible windows
program. Very impressive SO2R support. Also possible to network two
computers as single op assist, and set up different windows on each,
including full page packet screen. Also has direct interface to
DXTELNET. Uses fast Ethernet networking.Has dual logging windows for
SO2R. Click on the window to activate Radio1 or Radio 2, and if u built
the interface box, the headphone audio(and mic line on SSB) switches to
the other radio with a click of the mouse!
For multiop, it has an automatic log merge each time a computer is added
or rejoins the network!
Also has both a bandmap and packet needs window. You can instantly QSY
by clicking on the callsign in either window. Very cool. Most of the CT
commands are programmed in plus a log of stuff u can access with the
mouse.
Tons of features. Check it out.
Recognizes IRQ sharing for u notebook guys wit PCMCIA serial cards.
