Controlling a remote coax switch
Posted: 13 Jan 2016, 04:50
Hi,
Love the program, have been working on a remote coax switch. I have an Alpha 87A Amp. Alpha had a remote coax switch that connected in between the computer and Amp using serial commands, what I have done is use a Arduino that I have wrote a small program for to switch a remote caox switch. what I would like to see is when I click on a call to adjust my Kenwood TS-2000 to that Freq.(and it does that well) I would like it to also control my Alpha amp and have it change to the correct band, now the Alpha 87a will change band automatically when I key and speak but I would like it to change before I do that, Is this something that could be done with some settings in the program or will this be something that has to be writing for. my Kenwood is on one Com Port( COM 5) and my Alpha is on another (COM !).
Thanks for all your hard work
