[WriteLog] VB: 2BSIQ - How do you do it?

[Tom Georgens]

Two computers and keyboards is one way of doing it.  Using one keyboard and computer is also an option.  I use the one keyboard approach.

To use the 2BSIQ with WL, you must load the WritelogRunMode.dll

There are three WL commands that you need to use.  They need to be mapped to a keystroke using the Keyboard Shortcuts menu in order to be used

External: Start2RadioRunMode	- This starts the 2BSIQ automation.  One you start this, WL will immediately alternate CQ's on both radios
External: Stop2RadioRunMode - This stops the automation
External: Setup - Check "Dynamic Headphone split"  This will automate the headphone switching.  You could leave it unchecked and set the Headphones to always be split using the "Radio" pulldown.  Also, check "Stop aligns..." This makes sure you are in a logical state when you exit 2RadioRunMode.  The other two should be unchecked.  The first one is for SSB.  The last one is for reasons I do not understand.  Leaving it on will disrupt the timing.

You send the exchange and log the QSO the same way you do in normal logging mode.

Beware that the CQing and the keyboard focus will switch automatically.  You need to keep up with the automation or you will be typing into the wrong window.    Starting with a slow CW setting is best.  You can speed up when you get the hang of the automation.  In time, you will want all the messages to be about the same length to keep the two radio timing in synch

There are a bunch more details, but that should get you started in the simulator and 2BSIQ.

But why? In principle WL supports 2BSIQ if you do the manual headphone toggling. In N1MM you can do it with a macro (normal to split audio) on each F-key. Thought there could be such an easy way in WL as well : ) 

The Contest Sumulator in WL is awesome for practising SO2R and 2BSQU like no other logger program.

The simplest way is to use two networked computers, one for each radio.

Hi contesters

Two band sequential interleaved QSOs is the new trend among SO2R. Is there a macro to allow, after the messages in "F2 button (send RST)" or "F3 (TU) button" has been transmitted,  to switch headphones from normal (left ear both or right ear both) to split mode?  

Or how do you accomplish this without achieving it by pressing "split headphones"  manually?
