<br>
I would like to tightly couple our set of microwave transverters to the<br>
band setting in Win-Test. The transverters (2320/3400/5760MHz) are all<br>
connected to the same 146MHz radio (IC7400). Background: with several<br>
transverters on same TRX you accidentally log a QSO on the wrong<br>
microwave band... and - yes - sometimes you can be pretty busy even on<br>
microwave...<br>
<br>
The preferred way would be to do the band switching on the transverter<br>
side and somehow let Win-Test know which band is selected, but so far I<br>
have no idea how this could be done. The radio frequency does not help<br>
(it is 146MHz in all three cases). I know how to inject keyboard codes<br>
into Win-Test using AutoHotkey, but even then I would not know how to<br>
switch to a specific band from the keyboard either (you can enter the<br>
frequency in the call sign field, but to do that "automatically", you<br>
would have to clear this field first, and I do not dare to send the<br>
"F11", because some OP may have forgotten to press "enter" on the<br>
previous QSO before switching to another band...).<br>
<br>
Is there some LUA magic?<br>
<br>
The alternative is the band data available on the parallel port<br>
<a href="http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Interfaces#Band_Data" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/<wbr>Interfaces#Band_Data</a><br>
But first: as modern PCs do not have parallel ports anymore, it is not<br>
clear if the USB-LPT ports would work and second: bands >432MHz are not<br>
signalled (although the change in the software would probably be easy<br>
enough). But given the old interface, not clear if a good way to do it...<br>
<br>
Last option: Win-Test sends out UDP broadcasts with the current<br>
frequency. I know that there is a solution based on Raspberry Pi to<br>
monitor and switch the transverters accordingly.<br>
Myself, I was thinking of using an old AVR-NET-IO<br>
(<a href="http://www.pollin.de/shop/dt/MTQ5OTgxOTk-/Bauelemente_Bauteile/Bausaetze_Module/Bausaetze/Bausatz_AVR_NET_IO.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.pollin.de/shop/dt/<wbr>MTQ5OTgxOTk-/Bauelemente_Baute<wbr>ile/Bausaetze_Module/Bausaetze<wbr>/Bausatz_AVR_NET_IO.html</a>)<br>
- because I don't know what to do with it anyway ;-)<br>
