Send spot QSX info

Post by K0HB »

When spotting a DX station, a slick feature would be for Log4OM to check for a split rig, and if found, include QSX QRG in the generated spot.

I have doubts that OMNIRIG could provide VFO2 freq and other informations suitable to detect the rig in SPLIT mode...
i'll check...

On Icom rigs, this will not work as you can only read the "Active/Selected" VFO. We've been down this road in the past.

Question is: Does make it sense to Spot the exact QSX ??? This will give a lot more trouble to the DX station when all callers jumping to a spotted QSX QRG .... In my eyes it´s been better if anybody only spot "UP" that the guys can use the old standards and taking a look to the split frequency where the last caller was transmitting ... I love this old school work and it brings me a lot of DX with QRP power and my simple indoor wires. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I agree. The split frequency means nothing as the DX is constantly moving his receive frequency over the range of the split.

I'd like that log4om would provide the entire spot string, not only the single text you are posting

ie. ik2egl 14.2000 VK9NS calling by number

not only the string

'calling by number' as it is now

;)

If it is technically infeasible, then we can't have it. So be it.

But the snide remarks about "old school", "useless", etc strike me as asinine. I'm about as old as they come, have been hamming for 50+ years, and I don't find it necessary to ridicule my fellow hams.
