Hello Alex,

I was talking to several others in my DX club that also mentioned the
same thing.  I think that they were all using WIN98SE.

I need to check at the office but I don't think I have the clicking
problem on a laptop running WIN 200 Pro.

Just downloaded 1.3.  At first glance it looks pretty good.

I really like the rate meter but did notice that it expresses rate in
QSO's/Minute rather than the conventional QSO's/Hour.

CT expresses rate in QSO's/Hour in two different ways simultaneously,
Last 100 QSO Rate and Last 10 QSO Rate.  This allows you to easily
see spikes in rate.

Thanks again Alex for a great program!

I just started working on an FT-890 file. however it is not much
differant from the FT-900. I was planning on sending it to Alex when I
fully test it. See if FT-900 will work for you. They are basically the
same radio.

Alex.
  I'm going to try and implement using OmniRig into my Logging program
for the Minnesota QSO party but having trouble getting the objcet
setup under Builder. I imported the type libary (omnirig.exe) into
builder and it generates the OmniRig_TBL.cpp and OmniRig_TLB.h files
just fine.

So pressing on I followed your pascal example
where you define OmniRig as such:
OmniRig: TOmniRigX;
  which in C++ would be
TOmniRigX OmniRig1; however TOmniRigX is not defined in the type libary.

If I do
CoOmniRigX *OmniRig;
OmniRig.Create();
that seems to create the com ojbect (there is the normal delay while
the OS builds it)
However then
OmniRig.DialogVisible = true;
will not compile because DialogVisible is not a member of CoOmniRigX.

This is the first time I've tried to use COM objects under Builder so
I'm probably doing something wrong from the getgo.

Could you comment on this, do you have any C++ code examples that
implement OmniRig. Anybody on the list worked on this ?.

Thanks
Dan WR0DK

Hi Dan,

Please send me your TLB .cpp and .h files, I will see if I can figure out
what should be created in CPP instead of TOmniRigX .

Please write to my direct email, this topic is too technical for this group.

applicable. The frequency never changes... but whatever the rig's
frequency may happen to be IS reported properly in the Band Master
window. I have tried different options for RTS and DTR but only the
default settings report ok communications with the rig. I am able to
successfully control the Omni-VI Plus from other applications such

Hi Jeald,

Currently OmniRig does not have an ini file for the Omni-VI radio. Perhaps
it would not be difficult to create one using the Ten-Tec Paragon II.ini
file as a starting point. If you are interested in doing this, please take a
look at the documentation at http://www.dxatlas.com/omnirig .

Morse Runner 1.4 is now available at http://www.dxatlas.com/morseruner .
New in this version:

  - RIT function;
  - callsign completion/correction when sending;
  - faster response to keyboard commands;
  - bandwidth adjustment in 50 Hz steps;
  - the middle digit is selected when the cursor enters the RST field;
  - the QSO rate is now expressed in Q/hr;
  - the problem with the Finnish character set is fixed.

Well, it's again a question of maximizing the score and speed: When I
first got the report (which will turn out to be wrong later), I
immediately hit <return> to log the QSO, MR sends "TU" and I can
continue with the Pileup. When I then notice that the station sent a
correction, I could (in a real contest situation) still get the
corrected number right; since using QSK I'd even press <esc> to abort
sending TU even before the T is complete, thus preventing many of the
callers who are waiting from calling me. Usually I'd get the corrected
number right then, if not I have to ask once more.
Now I think that saving the few hundred milliseconds between the end
of the wrong number and the "dit dit" in every QSO with a non-"LID"
(which is 90%+) and occasionally asking for a second rprt saves me
more time than waiting after every QSO until the time where a possible
correction appears elapsed.
So I think it's nothing wrong with correcting the entries just made.
It has nothing to do with log-massaging after a contest with the help
of any external database or so, as some ppl do and what I also find
unacceptable.

OK, I respect that as your opinion but since that station sends his
call again if I got it wrong, and there is nothing you can do when you
got a number wrong, it doesn't make very much sense in then end.

Anyway, don't get me wrong: I like that program very much and
appreciate very much the work you are putting into this project!

I'll try the new version tomorrow and give you some feedback.

Data correction is the bigest waste of time in contesting.
Youngsters do it fast but most OF are two fingers key hunters.
Congrats on great UR software products together with MixW2.

73 de Mario, S56A, N1YU, online PC contesting since Oct. 1984

Hello All in the list.
Excuse me about my awful english, I know it isn't good unfortunately.

Well, my name is Gabriel and I live in a small village PortoGaribaldi
(Loc:JN64DQ) in the north-East part of Italy. I'm amateur radio since 1996
as IZ4APU.

I was a fan of RUFZ-cw trainer of DL4MM and PED5.19 of JE3MAS, when I runned
under Ms-DOS, than I installed Win98SE and I looked for a good trainer for
many years without find anything interesting.
Yesterday morning I found MR 1.4 of Alex and, after reading the TXT file, I
was very excited about my discover.

SO, I installed it on my Win98SE 500MHZ Celeron with SoundBlaster 1024 live!
And unfortunately I saw that there was something wrong... MR 1.4 doesn't
work properly on my sistem.
When I choose one of the options in the RUN menu, some strange sounds are
coming out from my phones. It's a little bit hard to describe them. They are
something like a little noisy and short peaces of sound, some millisecond
long; and sometime I can hear a little CW wave but absolutely not
understandable.
I never had troubles with my SoundCard before. All programs produce audio on
my system work properly and often together without any conflict or other
kind of problems.
I tried to make my machine faster unloading almost resident program: eMule,
Skype, MSN, Antivirus, Firewall, etcetera... but nothing is changed.

I'm very sad about that and I really would like find a solution. Is anyone
could help me?

Many many thanks in advance and, of course, Merry xmas to all of you and
your families.

Gabriel.

I am running win98 SE and there is no sound, my father has win XP and

Hi Sean,

Increase the audio buffer size as described in the readme file and see if
this helps.

Using Hamcap together with Ionoprobe.
From my observations, it looks as the SSNe gives the best view of the
actual band conditions (normal it is derivated from Ionosondes data).
For example last weekend during the ARRL10 the 90 days SSN was
exageratly high, while the real time SSN exageratly low... SSNe
provided a reliable view of the band shape, but it has to entered
manualy, so Ionoprobe becomes kind of useless ( you can see near-real
time SSNe at http://www.nwra-az.com/spawx/ssne24.html )

Apparently Ionoprobe is really useful only when used together with
DX-atlas, but DX-atlas MUF-maps are less easy to interprete than the
Hamcap maps... (*)

Is there any way of selecting SSNe rather than any other value when
using Ionoprobe and hamcap together ?

Patrick

BTW 2 bugs to report:
- When you open DX-Atlas from hamcap you sometimes get a message that
version "something or higher" is required  ( I have the latest - so
should not be a problem...). Sometimes it does open normaly.
- If you do not close Hamcap when using DX-Atlas, the MUF map is kind
of useless: you do not get the MUF when using the mouse. You have to
close hamcap to get the MUF values displayed (or is there something I
did not understand properly on the way DX-atlas and hamcap work
together ?).

============================
Last but not least: Morse-runner 1.4 is brilliant... thanks for the
numerous improvements.

Well, I have looked at the documentation (and I have the programming
guide for the Omni-6+) and I am feeling really dense. I am just not
understanding enough to make a reasonable stab at it translating
Ten-Tecs descriptions into OmniRig's (embarassing as I've been working
with tech and computers my whole life). Maybe another time. For now
life doesn't afford me enough time for programming... hardly enough
time to use my equipment... So BandMaster won't work for me as it is.

On a related but also confused note.... last night I tried to set up
BandMaster on my friend's IC 756 (not Pro). and regardless which ICOM
rig description I used it could not maintain a steady connection to
the transceiver. Instead it would find it, dump it... about 6 seconds
later find it again... so on and so on.

Lastly, ICOM and ICOM like rigs have this rig ID which you have hard
coded in your description files. Instead this should be a setting
variable in your settings window (possibly with a simle pull down list
of available codes).

Hi Jerald,

The unstable operation of OmniRig with an Icom radio is usually caused by
the Transceive mode turned on. It must be off.

Alex, I finally found some time to try out MR.  My first question (of
more, I suspect):  the cw speed is set to 32 wpm.  I generally do
contesting at 34 wpm.  However, the sent speed sounded a lot faster
than 32, more like 38!  Stations "came back" to me at around 32.  Is
there a way to verify the speed?  I ran a second short test at a MR
setting of 28 wpm and that sounded to me more like what I hear from
N1MM Logger at a setting of 34.

MR vs. N1MM...which is the REAL cw speed?

Terrific program, thank you for developing it, a great skill
improvement tool!

73, George W1EBI

Hi George,

CW speed calibration in MR is based on the PARIS system. At 12 WPM the dot
duration is exactly 100 ms, at 24 WPM it is 50 ms, etc. I verified the
accuracy of calibration by measuring the duration of the message of known
length.

I am not sure what speed scale is used in N1MM Logger.

I am having a trouble with no sound in windows 98SE. Anyone else
having this trouble.

Thank you.

Sean

Apologies if this has been asked and answered.  When I register DX
Atlas and associated programs, will I be able to install them on
multiple PC's I own with one registration?  Obviously in the shack,
also on my trusty laptop that I haul around?

George W1EBI

Hello Sean...
     Gabriel here, from North-East of Italy.
Yes, for sure, I've got the same problem on Windows 98 Second edition.
Unfortunately I'm not able to use Morse Runner altought I really wish to do
:-)
I already aks Alex about this trouble and it seems there isn't solution.
When I start MR, after choosing a way from Run menu, I can hear some strange
sounds coming out from my phones: noisy and some cw waves but nothing
understendable.
Alex, is it possible for you make some test in a pc runs WIN98? I'm not a
programmer but I imagine that there something wrong in comunication protocol
bitween sound card and memory banks. Maybe MR needs of some little
adjustements in order to run properly on 98. Well... I hope so... :-)

Thanks for further message in this topic, I really would like this bug
fixed!
  73 - Gabriel IZ4APU.

Sean/Gang,

Just for the sake of trying, I installed Morse Runner v.1.4 on a Windows
98SE machine after reading your message.  At the Audio Buffer default
setting the programme had poor sound, but when I changed the value from 3 to
5 and restarted the programme it worked ok. (I have not tried number 4 yet).

The computer used for this test is a Pentium 166MMX with 88 Meg of RAM. The
audio drivers for the SoundBlaster 16 sound card are the default drivers
installed by Windows. There is no virus checker or background programmes
running on this machine.

As a suggestion, if you are running a Norton's product you may wish to
disable it and try again. The same goes for other programmes you may have
running in background.

On the Windows XP box I normally use for 'Ham Radio', I have no problems at
all with Morse Runner.

----------

If there were only one change I would ask Alex to do, is an option that
would allow me to reverse the up/down arrow functions. To me it would make
more sense to have the up arrow increase the audio pitch and the down arrow
to lower it.  For sure, it is a great programme.

This is not the trouble. The trouble I have is that the program is not
starting up at all when I press the run anything at all. I am not sure why
that is
I would like to find out though. HMMMMMMMM. not a buffer thing.

Just for the sake of trying, I installed Morse Runner v.1.4 on a Windows
98SE machine after reading your message.  At the Audio Buffer default
setting the programme had poor sound, but when I changed the value from 3 to
5 and restarted the programme it worked ok. (I have not tried number 4 yet).

The computer used for this test is a Pentium 166MMX with 88 Meg of RAM. The
audio drivers for the SoundBlaster 16 sound card are the default drivers
installed by Windows. There is no virus checker or background programmes
running on this machine.

As a suggestion, if you are running a Norton's product you may wish to
disable it and try again. The same goes for other programmes you may have
running in background.

On the Windows XP box I normally use for 'Ham Radio', I have no problems at
all with Morse Runner.

----------

If there were only one change I would ask Alex to do, is an option that
would allow me to reverse the up/down arrow functions. To me it would make
more sense to have the up arrow increase the audio pitch and the down arrow
to lower it.  For sure, it is a great programme.

I am having a trouble with no sound in windows 98SE. Anyone else
having this trouble.

Thank you.

I tried with new value buffer at 5, in a PC running 500MHZ Celeron CPU with
256 MB-RAM, under Win98SE and nothing happens.
MR1.4 doesn't run.
Alex, May I encrease the buffer value over the 5?

Alex,
Repeating an earlier question, that you seem to have missed.

Is there any way to get hamcap to take the SSNe value from Ionoprobe,
rather than the 90 days SSN ???
If not, can you note it as "feature request" for hamcap future
release?

Best regards - Patrick

Hi Patrick,

It does not make much sense to use SSNe from IonoProbe in HamCap.

IonoProbe calculates the effective SSN by fitting the latest IRI-2001
ionospheric model to the real time ionosonde measurements. In other words,
the SSNe makes this particular model to agree with the actual state of the
ionosphere. If you enter this SSNe in another model, such as the old model
used in VOACAP, this may result in inaccurate predictions.

Please note that iono map in DX Atlas is also based on IRI-2001, and the use
of SSNe from IonoProbe greatly improves its accuracy.

Alex,
We have seen in recent contests (ie CQWW-SSB) that conditions may be
far above predicted condx based on smoothed values - especialy if you
take the recommended Ioncap NGDC monthly predicted values.
The 90days smoothed value is IMHO not much better to reflect sudden
SSN varations like the one mentionned above...

I understand your reluctances, but wonder what is the interest of
having Ionoprobe to work with hamcap, if you have to stick to the
NGDC monthly smoothed values to respect ioncap model and
recommendations...  In other words, don't see the interest of having
near real-time values, if the IONCAP model can't make any use of
them...
On the other hand DX-atlas iono-maps are nice, but not easy to use in
contest situation...

73's - Patrick

BTW: when you run hamcap together with DX-atlas, and select the
MUF(3000)map, or the F2 critical freq map DX-atlas keep displaying
the S/N value instead of the MUF or f0F2. You have to close hamcap to
get the expected frequency values...
