Dennis, is it possible to assign CAT commands to function keys? I have a Kenwood TS-590S, and I would like to be able to toggle between the 2 vfo's for working split while chasing DX/contesting. If possible, I don't want to use the mouse to do this. My keyboard keys are MUCH larger and more convenient than the tiny buttons on the radio are.

Thanks!

Hi Doug:

I suppose that the function keys in the data terminal COULD be used for this, IF the VFO swap could be accomplished by sending a simple ASCII string. But I don't think LOGic will let you assign the same port to a terminal and a rig. So while the function keys would work, the radio interface probably would not.

VFO selection is something that LOGic normally supports. What rig do you have?

Tnx & 73,

Hi Dennis, the rig is a Kenwood TS-590S. I have attached the Kenwood command set manual. Also...I use a Microham Microkeyer. Their software uses virtual com ports.

Dennis, I would like to add that N1MM+ sends CAT commands to the radio quite easily (of course I don't know exactly HOW it is done). But I've been doing it for a long time. I have a K3 and a K4D here.
