Re: DIGITAL MACRO {FILE:xxxx}

Hi all,

I have also a problem with the DIGITAL MACRO {FILE:xxxx} in MMVARI.
Using the very simple path C:\NQTH results in an error message "Filenotfound".
The complete error report is attached to this message. I'm not a computer expert, so if anyone of you can explain what happens in resulting the error, I would be very pleased and hope to be able tackling the problem.
The N1MMplus runs on an old XP(SP3) notebook, HP Compaq tc4400.
All other macro's are performing well, it's just this one.

Mny tks!

Re: Hello , I am new here - VU2AE from India

Looking at the manual for the Rigblaster Advantage, the port splitting software appears to share a single USB-to-serial adapter among several virtualized serial ports, and it is not clear to me from a quick scan of the manual whether it is possible to configure the virtualized serial ports fully independently. It may turn out to be unnecessary, or perhaps even impossible, to use the port splitter with N1MM+. Perhaps someone who has one of these devices would know.

The most important part is to get the CAT control (rig control) working. I would start out by disabling the port splitter software and just try using COM5 directly. I would try configuring COM5 for CAT control (radio = Kenwood), check the CW/Other check box for COM5, set RTS to PTT, and set DTR to CW. If you do not want to use PTT control, you could set RTS to Always Off (*not* Always On, contrary to normal usage with Kenwood transceivers).

I am not at all sure whether the Advantage can be used simultaneously for FSK keying and CAT control. Perhaps someone who actually has one could comment. However, it should be possible to use the built in sound card for AFSK RTTY and other sound card digital modes.

Rich VE3KI

Hello Vatsa and welcome!

You may be mixing two issues - one being CAT control of the TS-480 and the other being the interface to the Rigblaster Advantage.  I suggest starting by temporarily simplifying the problem.  First, stop the WMR port splitter and connect your computer directly to the radio's serial port.  Get that connection going first, then add the WMR port splitter with nothing else running or connected.

If everything is running OK at that point, then I suggest contacting WMR directly for their help with the Advantage set-up.  They may already have specific instructions for working with N1MM+.  You *may* find an Advantage user here willing to help, but we cannot keep up with all the details of all the peripheral equipment that is available out there.

Ah, one additional question - are you using a USB-to-serial adapter (or adapters) between your computer and your radio or peripherals?  If so, what chipset does it use?

Re: Error for Export to File

Victor,

You could use a database browser such as sqlitebrowser to open your database and export the DXLOG as a csv file for further processing in Excel. Make sure that you don't change anything in the database file. Best way to be certain is to make a copy of the database when the program is not running.

Is there a way to feed a file of "recorded" spots into the Telnet window
for testing?

A local had some issues with erratic CW and other similar things during
the CQP. He was running some fairly extensive filters, for the first
time, and we strongly suspect the Telnet window is why he was having
problems.

We'd like to prove it before SS. Of course, the CQP is now over and the
spot load has dropped dramatically:)

I have a vague recollection of a method for feeding spots from a file
into the Telnet window for testing. Can't find it either in the menus
or the documentation.

Am I imagining things?

Hi Pete, 73

 My setup is:

 K3NG interface with arduino (USB)
 Only N1MMrotor program to rotor.

  Even with G1000DXA off, when I turn on the N1MMrotor programa, There are the noise...

   I notice now, if the USB of K3NG interface is turned off, stop  the interference...

  So, I believe, this  problem isn't in the N1MMrotot... 

  Ir appears to be the  K3NG interface...

 Sorry my wrong...

Now... How I stop this problem... hi hi hi...

OK - I understand, now that I've seen the video.  A question, though - when you see the noise, is the rotator actually turning, or has it stopped?  When it stops, does the noise stop?  What rotator is involved?  Do you have a program between the computer and the rotator, such as PSTRotatorAZ or Easy-Rotor?  Is there a USB to serial converter involved in the path from the computer to the rotator?

HI Mike, VE9AA,

Here's another point of view.  I often do the same job as Pete on another reflector with far less volume than this one.  I've gotten to the point where, if I can't easily find the context of the question asked, I move on.  So I ask you, do you post for a reason . . . to get your question answered?  How many readers here do you suppose know the answer but don't  because they don't have all the info needed to figure out your question?  I understand Pete's complaint.  IMO if your goal is a fix to your problem, include the other emails with pertinent content in that email.

I will just say, that for the past, what, 6-12 months(?) is the only time since I have been on the Net whereby someone was asking folks to include previous emails in threads. (usually sysops are asking for messages to be trimmed!) hi


I only use the YAHOO online version (otherwise my inbox would be full and the XYL would likely delete lots of stuff she deemed unimportant) so there is never any issue following a thread.  They are all linked together by default online. (I am not suggesting you do the online thing, only that you understand doing it online there is no issue, so perhaps others like me (and maybe K3PA for all I know) do not even know what you are referring to.


From what I see, you are likely an email user of this group, so I can understand your frustration.

 I suspect this problem reflects a couple of things - the influence of texting, where the software provides the thread, and the use of phones to answer e-mail on the web interface.  I wish Yahoo would just include previous e-mails in the thread by default, and let people turn it off if they must.
