Disconnecting Rig Control

[KA1WPM]

Sorry if this has been asked and answered. My search terms were too common to find this anywhere.

How does one disconnect rig control? The only way I know how to do it it to close Log4OM.

Thanks,

Hi Dana,

To suspend CAT readings, go to top line menu - Settings\Suspend CAT Readings. That selection will then turn Orange. When you want to resume CAT operations, click on that menu item again, or restart the program. Note, this will stop the CAT readings - no CAT info is updated in Log4OM. However, if you double click on a spot, it will still tune your rig to the spot freq and mode.

If you want to totally disconnect CAT to free up the Com port, you would need to open up the OmniRig interface from Log4OM and change the Com port to some other unused com port, then click OK and close the window.
