[SD-User] Rig Control in SD

[Paul O'Kane]

Here's what's included in V16.13 to be released
later this week.

If you're interested there's a beta version at
www.ei5di.com/sd/sdb1613.exe

Please let me know if it doesn't work as expected.

SD V16.13 (Beta)


Rig-Control:
     Improved support for older Yaesu rigs, in
     particular FT1000MP, FT817 FT847 and FT897.

     Support for SO2R operation updated.  It is
     enabled with the 2R command, followed by
     PORTS to assign a Com Port and Name for
     the two radios.  Toggle between rigs with
     the backslash "\" key.

     With the callsign field empty, equals "="
     sets the inactive rig to the same frequency
     as the active rig.   Comma "," swaps
     frequencies.  The active rig is indicated
     by R1 or R2 at either side of the date/time
     field.

     In mixed-mode events, the mode on the
     active rig will correspond to the frequency.
     If necessary, use the S (SSB) or C (CW)
     commands to switch.  The X (eXchange)
     command lets you switch sidebands on either
     SSB or CW.  The CW setting is held for both
     rigs on all bands.

     B40, B20 etc, and their equivalents 40M and
     20M, switch the active rig to the new band -
     this may also be done by direct frequency
     entry, for example 14020 or 14183.56.

     Next step is to add support for SO2V, with
     equals "=" and comma "," having similar
     functions for VFO A and VFO B.
