UDP Outbound RadioInfo Packet
Posted: 22 Dec 2021, 00:24
Hi,
I'm a brand new user of Log4OM V2 2.18.0.0
My computer is running Windows 11 Home 21H2
I was able to load 9586 contacts from an ADIF file, I configured my rig to communicate with LOG4OM via CAT port and connected to LOTW to sync my confirmed contacts.
I am a long-time user of N1MM which is a great contest logger but I would like to use LOG4OM as an everyday logger so I can see at a glance if I need a country for a new band or mode.
My issue is that I use an antenna switch (YCCC MOAS II) and amplifier control program (Alpha 9500) that read the N1MM UDP packets to get the RadioNR and Transmit VFO frequency to determine which antenna and in the amplifier's case which band to be on.
I searched the forum and looked at the manual and couldn't find any info on using UDP with RadioInfo packets to control external programs / devices.
In looking at the UDP Outbound tab I see there are options for ADIF, Rotator, and Callsign UDP messages but I don't see an option that will duplicate the <RadioInfo> messages that N1MM sends out.
I know I can create a new minimal N1MM .ini file and use the N1MM RadioInfo UDP packets for the antenna switch and let the amp switch itself when RF is applied and have both programs running.
I was just wondering if there is a way to implement the RadioInfo UDP message from LOG4OM or if I need to have both programs running.
In my minimal time using LOG4OM it is a great program and I hope I can get my software and hardware configured to use it for everyday operating and awards tracking.
Thank You,
