Set default power per band/aerial
Posted: 30 Mar 2021, 15:43
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!
