Subject: Help new TR user!


> I'm a new TRLOG user, with version 6.52.  The PC is a 233 MHz K6, running
> Win 98.  Rig is TS-850S, MFJ-1270C packet controller.  I wanted to try out
> TRLOG in the contest this weekend, but am having a problem with the packet
> interface.  If I jump to the packet window using CTRL-B, I can log onto
the
> packet cluster, enter commands, get responses, etc., everything works just
> fine.  You can see the DX Spots rolling in.  But, I can never get any DX
> spot information on the main TR screen.  I've read the book front to back
> and tried just about all related parameters, with the same results.  Have
> tried running in a command window under Win 98 as well as rebooting to a
DOS
> prompt and running from there.  Same results.  All other functions appear
to
> work properly.

> MY CALL = K8AC
> CONTEST = CQ WW
> DISPLAY MODE = COLOR
> RADIO ONE TYPE = TS850S
> RADIO ONE CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 3
> PACKET PORT = SERIAL 2
> EIGHT BIT PACKET PORT = TRUE
> PACKET SPOTS = ALL
> PACKET LOG FILENAME = PACKLOG
> BAND MAP ENABLE = TRUE
> BAND MAP ALL BANDS = TRUE
> BAND MAP ALL MODES = TRUE
>
> I get the band map window up OK, and I've started TR using the BANDMAP
> parameter just to prove that you really can get data into that window.  I
> must be missing something very basic here.  Any ideas?
