Set default power per band/aerial

Post by G8HLW »

I have an IC7100. This has one antenna port for HF with a maximum power of 100W, and a second for 2m & 70cm with output powers of 50W and 35W maximum.

I use a fan dipole on HF and a Slim JIM on 2m (not active on 70cm yet). I have a setting for 2m on the Slim JIM and another for HF on the dipole. When I switch from HF to VHF the aerial in the log also changes (as desired) but I haven't been able to find how to get the power logged to change automatically. I can only find how to set the default power for the rig; being able to set it for each aerial (or each band would be even better) would save a lot of editing of QSO records when setting the current power (in F4 on the main screen) has been forgotten.

I use Win4ICOM to control the rig and this displays the current output power in the title bar, possibly this data could be used as an alternative to a setting.

If I have missed a setting please let me know!

I have just realised that I have missed some important info: Log4OM2 version 2.11.0.0 running on Windows 10 Pro 32b version 20H2, build 19042.867.

HTH

Sorry!

In the settings where you have the tree with radio/antenna/band, right click on the radio and set default power

No Lele the radio has different power output for different bands so the user is requesting a power setting by band or aerial, not just one setting for a radio

Is there any chance of a meaningful reply to this request please, other than RTFM?

The "meaningful reply" to your feature suggestion was as I advised Lele in my post

"the user is requesting a power setting by band or aerial, not just one setting for a radio"

So that is the feature request and when its added notification will be included in the release notes

Terry

Thanks for the reply, I'm sorry for being somewhat terse. It had been a bad day, but that does not excuse being rude.

I look forward to seeing this improvement at some time (possibly).

Thank you both for an otherwise very good product.
