[TRLog] TR & IC-765

[R. Meilstrup]

I wonder if anyone out there is using TR together with an Icom IC-765 like me. I've never had any success in making the two talk to each other whereas my daily logging with LogPlus! works just fine both ways - to and from the radio. The usual commands like 
RADIO ONE CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 4 (that's the one I use with Logplus!)
RADIO ONE TYPE = IC765    
RADIO ONE BAUD RATE = 1200
...are in my LOGCFG and I've even tried setting all port parameters via CT's COMTRS (a tip from one of this list's contributors).
  Once in a while when I try to "jump-start" the radio, I suddenly see on the TR logging screen "165630.1 kHz" and "NONSSB".
TR CW-keys the radio FB, but only when I've started the PC in absolutely pure DOS - that is to say, I have boot on a DOS disc. (This is quite normal, as far as I understand because of IRQs in Windows.) 

By the way: Judging from the last days' contributions, hams who like their PC-clock to be precise seem to belong to one of two categories: Those who adjust the PC clock manually before a contest using a good clock - and those who want their PC-clock to be precise. When mentioning the rather fantastic Accuset program recently I goofed and got the address a bit wrong. Let's try again: http://retsik-software.com

Incidentally, radio controlled clocks are sold here in Europe at ridiculously low prices: A round wall clock with hands or a small digital one to put on your desk may both be had for something like $22. They "listen" to DCF near Stuttgart on 77.5kHz (1500 km range). DCF keeps an eye on  summer/standard time as well. In the UK, most radio clocks are controlled by MSF Rugby on 60kHz.
