[UK-CONTEST] RS232 1 Radio / 2 computers

[Mark Marsden]

Hi Callum

I asked exactly this question on the N1MM reflector in January this
year, but I got no replies.

The RS232 transmit line from the MP can go, by a Y-cable, to both PCs Rx
in lines, but only one PC can talk to the MP (at any one time).

Both instances of N1MM will be polling the MP and will expect responses
to their polling messages. I haven't tried it but I would expect
messages like "Port not found" or something like that.

Please let us know what happens if you try it out.

Best 73, Mark G4AXX

I have a requirement to network 2 x computers to one FT1000MP so that
they can both read the frequency off the same radio using N1MM as the
contest logger via RS232

 

Basically, I want to organise "Big Knob Little Knob" (2OSR = 2 Ops
Single Radio!).

 

Has anyone done this? Will it work with a Y cable..?

 

Kind regards,
