Re: [Elecraft] N1MM Contest Logger VFO B issue, USB-Serial, & Serial CW Keying
I think there is another way to look at this. N1MM Logger is the center point of what you do in the contest. You should make changes in N1MM Logger, and have it change the radio instead of doing the same thing on the radio. That way Logger is always under control. The exception to this is changing frequency within a band, where Logger simply cannot do the QSY fast enough (for my taste). N1MM _can_ do the QSY properly, but I find it to be a bit slow. I don't remember if just clicking in the VFO B window will cause the radio to select the B VFO, but there is a command to do so which also changes focus to that window and changes the VFO selection simultaneously. More and more, the computer is where the contest is, not the radio!

Apparently one must click on the VFO B data entry window to make VFO B "active", no matter which VFO is selected on the K2. This is a little confusing because the K2 will be transmitting on whatever VFO it has active, but maybe this is the desired behaviour for some reason??? My appologies for any confusion I may have created. 73, Randy, KS4L Hi Mark: I'm no expert on N1MM logger but I have used it with the K2. I just tried it using v6.10.10, but I know this has worked before with earlier versions. When you use both VFO A and VFO B, you need to have 2 data entry windows open, one for A and one for B. There are key shortcuts to switch back and forth between A and B but if you simply click in the bandmap for VFO B, the focus for everything switches to the VFO B entry window and anything entered there will be entered correctly into the log. If you then click on the bandmap for VFO A, everything shifts back to the entry window for VFO A and the data will be logged correctly with VFO A data. If you have ONLY the entry window for VFO A open and use that for data entry while using VFO B, then only VFO A data will be entered into the log. This has worked for me using both "real" serial ports as well as the "USB-to-serial" connections. I haven't read the help manual/file lately (I must before next weekend), but it used to be explained fairly well in there. The only problem I have had with N1MM and using both VFOs is with operating split and getting the software to send on A while listening on B and vice versa.

Re: [Elecraft] N1MM Contest Logger VFO B issue
- Original Message - From: "Mike Short" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Some issues with the USB/serial adapter. It may not be stable, or is dropping Data. The data rate on the K2 is fairly slow. I agree - looks like the USB <=> COM port converter does either not receive enough power from the PC and/or you need a newer driver. This is a common problem. I assume the serial cable is OK and conforms to the special Elecraft specification.

RE: [Elecraft] N1MM Contest Logger VFO B issue
Hi Don, and all other responders, I guess I'll have to shop around for a better USB to serial adapter. My desktop computer is far too noisy to use with any HF equipment running. I was thinking about replacing it with a Mac but I don't think Mac desktops have serial ports either. I remember there was some discussion several months ago about why Elecraft didn't use USB for their computer control interface. However, considering how scarce serial ports are becoming on new computers and the fact that many ham radio aftermarket manufacturers are successfully using USB in their products I wonder how long the argument can hold up (although I'll also admit I don't know of any transceiver manufacturers who market transceivers with USB control interfaces). 73 - Ken --- Don Wilhelm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ken, > > I would suggest a better USB to serial adapter - or > if possible, use a > desktop computer with a real serial port.

RE: [Elecraft] N1MM Contest Logger VFO B issue
Ken, I would suggest a better USB to serial adapter - or if possible, use a desktop computer with a real serial port. If your USB to serial adapter is connected to a USB hub, that might be a problem - several folks have reported miscellaneous mysteries occurring with that combination, but they sometimes disappear when connected to a native USB port. I have never noticed any problem like that on any version of HRD that I have used, but then I have always used a real COM port. 73, Don W3FPR > -Original Message- > > I updated my copy of N1MM Logger (v6.10.10)in the hope > that I would be able to get into the CQWW this weekend > and noticed that it didn't recognize VFO B either. > > On a related note, I downloaded, installed and > configured Ham Radio Deluxe a few evenings ago and > found that it's ability to display the K2's frequency > was very shaky.

[Elecraft] N1MM Contest Logger VFO B issue
Yes, I noticed the same problem (and more) last summer with VFO B. Maybe it is fixed in a newer edition, dunno. 72, Fred - kt5x ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

RE: [Elecraft] N1MM Contest Logger VFO B issue
Mark, I'm new with N1MM, but a quick check just now with my K2 (#337 with most applicable updates) shows that the N1MM Logger correctly tracks which VFO is active and with the correct frequencies. By that I mean that the VFO A display is active when VFO A is selected on the K2, and the VFO B display is active (has the focus) when VFO B is selected on the K2, and both show the correct frequency for the respective VFO. However, making a couple of dummy entries in the log, starting with VFO A then going to VFO B, the VFO A frequency was incorrectly entered for both. Looks like a problem to me too! 73, Randy, KS4L ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] N1MM Contest Logger VFO B issue
I was wondering if anyone else out there is using their K2 with a pseudo-serial cable to their compuker to get band/mode info for contest logging using N1MM logger. I've noticed that it records VFO A info okay but if I switch to VFO B it continues to record VFO A info into the log and not display VFO B info. So, when contesting, I make sure to start each band on VFO A and make an effort to not switch to VFO B while using N1MM logging software. In the past I didn't do this, the log continued to record frequency & mode info from VFO A, and it screwed up the log. It wasn't very easy to go in and edit the log with frequencies and mode info, if I could figure out which lines needed updating, and then it still didn't pick up the new multipliers correctly, which was another exercise to get correct. As a sanity check I just checked the WIN-EQF program and it seems to display both VFO frequencies simultaneously and indicated the active VFO, as well as correctly showing info when I switch to VFO B. So, I think the rig & serial comm is okay otherwise. I've filed a bug report with N1MM Contest Logger on this issue as well as the previous post I just did on the serial port pulsing noise on 40m. I've gotten emails back from Pete, N4ZR, who is providing technical assistance on the N1MM program bug reports. He's suggested that I post here to see if anyone else has experienced this as well or if it functions okay on your situations. Comments?
