I want to put the power from my Main Log form in the CW keyer so I can send it. I first tried putting it in a long string of other stuff and got an error when I tried to save it. Then I tried putting just PWR in a keyer field by itself. Logic gave me the same syntax error message and offered to bring up the expression builder (I'm not sure that is what it was called). I noted that when I selected power using the expression builder that it put LOG.pwr in the field but I still got the same error when I tried to save it. What is the proper syntax to get power from the main log form and put it in a CW keyer field by itself.

I might add that I have many other iif statements etc running in other CW keyer fields. They are all working just fine. It is only power that I am having trouble with.

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill:

You need to do something like this:

TRANS(PWR)

or more realistically,

"MY TX PWR IS " + TRANS(PWR)

PWR is numeric, that's why it requires special treatment. TRANS() converts any data type to string.

You can get fancy:

IIF(PWR>0, "MY TX PWR IS " + TRANS(PWR), "")

This way the macro will send nothing if your power field is not filled in. Otherwise it would say

MY TX PWR IS 0

which is really really QRP hihi.

Tnx & 73,

Dennis WN4AZY

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the fast reply.

I still can't make it work!

When I enter "My pwr out is " +trans(pwr) the keyer sends [my pwr out is *.**]. If I put just trans(pwr) in a memory it sends *.** so it is consistent!

Thanks for any help you can give me,

Bill
