The device driver will remove the COM port from the hardware table and the program will hang then eventually timeout.Do not unplug a USB to COM converter while the program is running.Do not turn off radios while the program is running if the radio is connected via USB port.RTS or DTR keying on the Elecraft K3) is required to send CW. A COM, LPT, WinKey, or similar interface built into the radio (e.g. Sending CW characters via radio command (CAT) is not supported due to the limitations and contesting requirements.
The second Bandmap and Entry window are automatically closed. When SO1V mode is selected, VFOB is not defined for receiving.Memory mode is not supported VFO mode is required. In this mode, the radio will not provide the correct polling data to the program. Memory mode – most modern radios have a kind of memory mode.This only applies to the keys that increment/decrement the current frequency.If this doesn’t work, try changing it to 100 Hz, under the Configurer, Other tab. The default increment/decrement for CW is 10 Hz.If the frequency moves nothing has to be changed. Check the frequency while pressing the keys mentioned above. It’s easy to test if it is the keys are working.The keys mentioned above have to be set higher than the minimum step size supported by the radio.Icom 751 rigs for example do support 10 Hz steps but only show 100 Hz steps on the display. This is not always well documented by the manufacturer. The VFO frequency will not change if the incremented/decremented amount is smaller than the frequency deltas supported by your rig.It may appear that the Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Page Up or Page Down are not working when incrementing or decrementing the current frequency with these keys.Polling of radios while sending CW is supported for all radio except for FT-1000.If the radio needs to be power cycled after the program has initialized, right click in the Bandmap and select Reset Radio to perform this initialization again Users should have the radio and interface powered prior to starting the program so this can occur. These are sent to the radio when the program starts.
Consult the manual from your radio and also read below.Some radios require initialization commands for configuration.
When the radio control gives a warning 10 seconds after you start the logger, then you never had radio control at all, and you should check your hardware, and serial port settings.To restart the radio radio interface polling select in the right-click menu from the bandmap “Reset radios”.A warning message will be displayed when no response received from the radio and the radio will be changed to a manual radio by the program.If the radio needs to be power cycled after the program has initialized, right click in the Bandmap and select Reset Radio to perform this initialization again. Some radios require initialization commands for configuration.Users generally increase this value to 13 – 15 seconds. All radios: Timeout for all radios is default set to 10 seconds (user settable).All radios: Band change is not allowed while transmitting.When using a home-brew self-powered interface set the handshaking to:.Please advise us of any corrections or needed changes. Note: Known settings for specific transceivers, as well as program features that they do not support are mentioned below as far as we know them.
