[Trlog] CI-V address for 756PROII

[Don Moman VE6JY]

Convert hext to decimal with a Windows program??... Sure -  but in
keeping with TRLog being the Swiss Army Knife of logging programs,  just
enter HEXCONVERT in the command line of TR.   In fact, there are many
handy commands that can be implemented in the Command line.

And yes, multiple ICOMs on one serial port - that would be impressive.

Yeah, well....for those of us to whom this is a foreign language, I have

included a snippet from my configuration files that helps me keep it 
straight.  If I didn't do it this way, with the helpful comment lines, I

think I'd become an axe murderer.  Here's what my CFG files say, and
these 
combinations work perfectly:

              RADIO ONE TYPE = IC746PRO
      RADIO ONE CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 2
         RADIO ONE BAUD RATE = 4800
  RADIO ONE RECEIVER ADDRESS = 86
;for base 10 "86" radio says hex "56h"
      RADIO ONE ID CHARACTER = L
              RADIO ONE NAME = <<<<<<<
              RADIO TWO TYPE = IC746PRO
      RADIO TWO CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 1
         RADIO TWO BAUD RATE = 4800
  RADIO TWO RECEIVER ADDRESS = 102
;for base 10 "102" radio says hex "66h"
      RADIO TWO ID CHARACTER = R
              RADIO TWO NAME = >>>>>>>

BTW you can convert from one to the other using the calculator in
Windows. 
Click on "view" and make sure "scientific" is selected, not "standard." 
When you do, then click the bullet that says "Hex", put in the Icom
address 
you want (on the 756PROII you have a bunch of addresses to choose from
in 
the menu, right?), but don't put in the "h" - i.e. if you set the radio
to 
"66h" just put "66" onto the Windows calculator.  Then click the "Dec" 
bullet and the amount in the display is miraculously transformed to the 
number that you should type into TRlog.

One last thing, since I get the impression Tree has recently experienced
a 
new surge of TRlog energy (I was handed a new alpha version of TRlog in
HC8 
at least 2 times in only a week) - one of the COOLEST things that can be

done with this setup, if His Majesty could clean up the error messages 
(please???) is you can run two independently addressed Icoms like this
on a 
SINGLE SERIAL PORT.  How cool is that?

Mark, N5OT
