[WT-support] Special Initialization strings for radios (andwinkey)?

[I4UFH HRS]

Nice idea, add also MK2 or EMASTER in the Macro list, there are options not yet available
on WT but capable form the Hardware, as selecting antennas in TX or RX in the both
SO1R or SO2R for example .....

  Hi Bob,


  this is an excellent idea that I've been hoping for to see in WT.


  2008/12/4 Bob Wilson, N6TV <n6tv at arrl.net>

    Wouldn't it be great if Win-Test could support three more message variables:

      $WK=  (send command text to WinKey)
      $RIG1=  (send radio-specific command text to Rig 1)
      $RIG2=  (send radio-specific command text to Rig 2)

    Maybe "0xHH" could be used to send hex (binary) bytes if required by the protocol.



  Perhaps a new section in wt.ini containing predefined command strings would be of help, to avoid cluttering the message entry fields. It would suffice then to type in a message window: $RIG1=$CMD_CQMESSAGE or whatever.



    Then we could all experiment to figure out methods to generate unsupported radio-specific commands such as "Enable RTS and DTR for PTT and CWKEY", "Clear RIT", "Set VFO A to VFO B's frequency", "Enter Dual Receive" for all of our individual radios, so that Laurent and Olivier don't have to do all the hard work themselves to figure this out.  We could share command strings here on this Reflector, and in the Wiki.



  Also rigs with internal DVK e.g. K3, TS2K could also profit to be commanded to use the internal memories. 



    Note: the CW sidetone playing on the PC speaker via the SOUND command will often sound terrible even though the LPT keying is perfect.



  We had a rather old PC with LPT keying at TM6M that occasionally CW sent was garbled. Clicking on WT menus, was consistently distorting sent CW (and speaker sound). Putting NOSOUND fixed the problem.
