Hi Tony, Similar problem related to spots exists with mode, even if "ignore mode in real time" is selected: incoming spots change mode in log window. I think spots should not have any impact on operation except when selected for monitoring or contacting them. 73, Radi F6GNZ

In my setup, LPT1 is the rotor control, and LPT2 now controls my band decoder (ON4AOI) via the computer, rather than from transceiver output (ICOM IC756 ProII). Using the transceiver was never perfect as the rigs output control voltages were not reliable. So controlling the band decoder from LPT2, and when also using the cluster spot window, with no station selected in main window, the band decoder receives message to change antenna. So I am on, say 20m, tuning around, having not yet entered a station, the band decoder receives the message that I am on 20m and selects the appropriate antenna, fine! Then the spot comes up on say 80m, the band decoder detect this and for a second or two changes antennas, then reverts back to 20m. If the next spot is 20m, no problem, but if next spot(s) are different frequencies then click, click, click off it goes. Is the any way that the software (controlling LP2, band decoder) can ignore band selection from spot cluster window, while still accepting band changes made directly from the transceiver?? OK simple answer is to write something in main window (i.e. station callsign, single letter all more) but......... Would appreciate peoples comments 73's de Tony G8DQZ _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
