Hi Dick,
You can do at least this two different ways:
1) With ver 12.8 you can setup multiple configurations that can be switched
easily from within the program. It's very nice--you can have different a
different tracker, radios, satellites, etc.! Just use the menu
Setup/Configuration and you'll see what I mean...maybe that will let you set
the rigs up two ways? As I recall there are four different configurations that
can be selected. (Hint--when starting out, I just copied all the files from
Config1 (default) to the Config2 folders so I didn't have to redo
EVERYTHINGjust small changes where I needed them)
OR
2) You can run both 12.8 and 12.7 simultaneously! Under Windows7 (63-bit
here) ver 12.7 "fusses" at start up about an IOPort driver, but just click OK
and it runs perfectly (well, I suspect that IOPort driver error means it
wouldn't run a KCT interface or something...). I do this option for running
my old TS-790A as a S-band receiver (from a downconverter at the antenna of
course). CAT control works perfectly.
That way I can leave my TS-2000x "as is" under 12.8 and then run the Ts-790A
when I need to for mode S.This is really helpful when we run AO-51 in mode
V/SU like we are doing right now---I can monitor on both receivers at the same
time and still have the V-band uplink via the TS-2000x.
Hope that info inspires you to experiment!!
