Does Log4OM work with PstRotor?

Post by W6SDM »

I find references in the PstRotor manual that it works with Log4OM. However, I can't find the way to connect the two. Everything works well in CAT with both programs and each works well independently. What I am looking for is when I click the call sign in a cluster, that call sign appear in the CALL box on PstRotor. PstRotor calculates the bearing and turns my antenna when I press GO.

Am I expecting something that isn't supposed to happen?

Thanks. Here's my problem. When I try to start communicator, the program crashes.

At one point, I set Communicator to auto start. It crashed each and every time I started the program. I had to do a complete un-install, re-install to bring back Log4OM.

Now, when I leave the auto start unchecked, it still crashes each time I go to start communicator.

Of course, Communicator needs to start in order to work with PstRotator.

I must be missing a step.

Thanks,

Steve

Did you install Log4om as an administrator - Right click on the install file and select 'Run as an administrator'

Alternatively your Windows security settings are set too high 9User account control) or some anti virus or malware software or even the Windows Firewall is misbehaving.

There have been several thousand downloads of the latest version 1.28 and this is the only report we have received of the communicator not running/crashing so I suspect it is local to your machine/installation.
