Logger32 gets a rig control panel

Maybe I missed it before, but I think that this is a recent facility.

 The picture below shows a screen capture during CQWW-CW.  Logger32 is on the left hand screen and N1MM and DX Atlas are on the right hand screen.  Both Logger32 and N1MM are communicating with the K3 via LP Bridge.  This allows the use of both the DX cluster on Logger32 and the Reverse Beacon Network on N1MM to find new stations and multipliers.
Previously I used K3-EZ to control functions on the K3, but that consumed valuable screen estate..  OK, you could actually use the K3's front panel (!!) - but that would be too easy.
Here is an enlargement of the new Logger32 radio control panel.  You can programme up to 36 buttons.  It is easy to programme the macros such as:
$command MD2;BW0270;$ - to get USB with 2700Hz bandwidth
$command SWT19;$ - to "tap" the ATU tune button
$commandSWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB7;RT0;XT0;$ - to get a split "UP5".  i.e. copy VFO A to B, enable split, set VFO B 5kHz above VFO A and set the RIT and XIT to 0.  This probably needs a command to enable the SUB receiver but I haven't done that ---- yet.

  1. Hi,
    Just wondered if DXAtlas is interfaced with Logger32 in your screenshot. ??

    Thank you,

    1. Hi Don
      Sorry it took so long to reply !! DX Atlas was there to remind me where the zone numbers were. It was not integrated. If you know how I would love to hear !

  3. Hi Roger,
    I hope all is well.
    Unfortunately I don't know how to integrate this.
    I have emailed my interest to the Logger32 forum but no reply so far.
    If I get a solution I will let you know.

    Thank you,
    Don
