Thanks for the info Bill:
I solved my problem in a different way.
Wayne added an interface for the Kachina 505dsp which I've been needing for a
long time. The problem was that with WL and the Kachina software running at the
same time, only one window was active at a time. I was hoping there was an
effective way of tuning the 505dsp with WL. Having two active windows would be
a pain for search and pounce and still a bit of a pain for running stations.
For example, search and pouncing...
- Click on the 505dsp window and tune the rig.
- Find a station to work
- Click on the WL window and enter the callsign
- Click on the 505dsp window and start tuning again
- etc etc etc
Solution:
I installed the 505dsp/dialer software on my laptop which is on my home
network. I mapped the laptop c: drive on my main pc and told WL that the file
interface resided on my laptop harddrive. Now I have two active windows. I can
constantly control the 550dsp with the laptop while having my cursor ready to go
in the call entery field in WL.
Working great.
Now I'm working on tracking down a cheap laptop for a second 505dsp. I'm now
going to be able to do some two radio contesting with a pair of great readios.
