Because of their performance and reducing prices, SDR receivers are becoming very popular. It is very attractive to use SDR for reception and the existing Rigs/PA’s for transmission. To make it all work together, there should be a possibility to synchronize bands/frequencies and modes between SDR RX and the existing TX. Alex, VE3NEA has developed a free software, the OmniRig (www.dxatlas.com/omnirig/), which permits synchronization of almost all existing rigs with the SDR RX via the logging/control program; a list of programs already supporting OmniRig is also on this site. It would be great if Paul would kindly add the OmniRig support to DX4WIN and include DX4WIN to this list. In addition, software like DXLab Suite (CI-V Commander) can already provide support for SDR consoles via its the "Secondary CAT Serial Port". Other loggers can do the same - DX4Win already has the technology in place with its "SteppIR" support - if the developer of the logging software wishes to do so. I have just completed the assembly of the Genesis G11 SDR. It also has transmit possibility, but only 10-watts, so I’d prefer to keep the existing combination of DX4WIN/FT1000MP/Alpha77/microKeyerII w. SteppIR control for TX and to use the G11/GSDR console for RX. The Ft1000MP BCD band data gives me in addition the possibility for the remote antenna switching via the BCD/decimal converter. I think this would be the great upgrade to the fine DX4WIN program and I am sure users would be ready to pay for it!
