Re: Spots to control radio

Re: Issue on v4.0.329 with the Quick QSL window
Alain,
it IS painful. As I cannot define the added value in that venture I had to rollback to the previous version, too...

Temat Re: [hamlogger] Issue on v4.0.329 with the Quick QSL window
Yes, there were changes made that slow down the opening of the Quick QSL window, but no changes that slow down how long it takes to change whatever you wanted to change. And, the delay in opening the Quick QSL window is only the first time you open the window.
?
And why the delay? When opening the Quick QSL window you are jumping into the logbook database somewhere. Loggoer32 needs to find out exactly where you are and move the vertical scrollbar thumb (the slider on the scrollbar) to the correct position. Why do this? So that scrolling up/down works correctly.
?
To see the difference, on v4.0.328, Open the Quick QSL window on a QSO somewhere in the middle of your logbook. Now on the vertical scrollbar? click with the mouse to scroll up one row. Did it go up one row? I think not.

Something odd with Radio connection?
So,? just recently starting seeing L32 with an odd radio connection problem...
?
Radio is FTdx101D connected to L32 via a Microham Station Master box at 19200, N, 8, 1 and polling is set at 50mS, but slower poling makes no difference.
?
When I first start L32 from cold, I see that both the Radio 1 and Rotator 1 are connected fine, as indicated by the blue status on the taskbar, and also confirmed by the frequency showing correctly in the entry window.?
?
I wait until the cluster spots have populated the band monitor panels, then I click on a spot on the monitor panel. At that exact moment the "Radio 1" on the taskbar changes from Blue (connected) to Red (not connected).? I then have to manually make L32 re-connect to the radio via the setup > Radio menu.
?
All is then fine and dandy and I don't see the problem again during that run-time session. However, the same repeats every time I start L32. Some kind of timing/hand-shake issue maybe?
?
?Any clues on this issue please?

Re: CW Machine and FTdx10
Hmmmmm, OK.
Your PTT is working fine using the CAT commands, so it seems it's just the CW keying using the DTR line on 'standard' virtual serial port Com23 that's playing up.
I don't know why - sorry - something to do with the setup of the virtual?port I guess, but how to diagnose & fix that is beyond me (at 5:30am anyway!).
All I can suggest is to work carefully through the Yaesu instructions for the ?to be sure you have the current driver correctly installed.? That may involve de-installing the driver first, then re-installing it.? Or something.
If you want to prove that the CW Machine is keying the DTR line as it should, I guess you'd need some software to monitor the virtual port line, or maybe you could temporarily change to a real serial port and put a scope or DMM on the DTR line of that port, looking for the level changes when CW is being sent (easier to see with? ? v e r y? ? ?s l o w? ? ?C W).??

Re: CW Machine and FTdx10
There are 2 ways to send CW. One is explained by Gary. Anther is to use RTS or DTR line in created virtual com port. You should set CW keying option in your radio. (DTR or RTS) You should set proper com port setting in CW machine. This is example.
When USB cable is connected to PC then you have new two COM port, Enhanced and Standard. In my case, I see COM9 (enhanced) and COM10 (Standard) I use COM9 for CAT and COM10 for CW keying on?DTR line.

Re: CW Machine and FTdx10
Hi Clark.
I don't have an FTdx10, so what follows is based on my reading of the FTdx10 User and CAT manuals.
The FTdx10 does not appear capable of accepting text messages via the CAT connection and sending them as CW ... so instead you need to key the key input.
To do that, you need either a hardware keyer (such as a Winkeyer) or, for software keying, a simple transistor switch connecting the DTR line of a serial port on your PC to the tip of the key input on the radio.??
There's a circuit diagram for the transistor switch in the CW Machine chapter:
You can put the radio into transmit with a CAT command, so there is no need for a second transistor switch for the PTT function: the CW Machine can send the TX CAT command then key the DTR line of a serial port with the message, then send the RX CAT command.? ?However, the transistor switch is so simple and cheap that can use one for the CW keying and another for the PTT function.
