[TowerTalk] DCU-1 and MP-1000MP

[Dick Green]

I, too, have pondered this question (except I have a Kenwood rig instead of
a Yeasu.) I came to the conclusion that CT simply does not support more than
one device sharing a com port. Put another way, there is no way to specify
multiple devices for the same com port. None of the other contest programs
allow it either. Kinda silly when you realize that they support the DCU-1
command set but not its ability to daisy chain with the rig. I guess all you
can do is submit a suggestion to the author. However, it would take a bit of
overhauling in the user interface to accommodate the change.

BTW, for those not familiar with the acronym, the DCU-1 is Hy-Gain's digital
rotor controller (and thus I believe the question is appropriate for Tower
Talk... :-)
