Signal meter display (option)

Hi

I wonder if Omnirig or the like allows for a signal "S" meter readings to be exported and displayed somewhere in the logger?

Not to populate the RST field, but rather allow the operator to view a signal reading while typing in information. (I don't touch type). I find sometimes when working a pile up, or concentrating on a weak signal, I have to take my eyes off the screen to give a report, often resulting in "I'll give your report on the next over".

Perhaps the "S" meter could go just above the start and end times as a simple bar graph.

Cheers

Hello Adam.

Your idea is quiet interesting, however you can have same result or evean better with FLRig.
With FLRig you could have a complete command with your transceiver.

Of curse It would be better to have all within Log4OM , but while we do not have it, I think FLRig is a very good tool for that purpose.

In case you want to see a bit more http://www.w1hkj.com/flrig-help/

Having checked several Omnirig rig ini files I have not found one that provides any S meter information so if its not available from Omnirig we cannot provide it
