Thanks for the good report! From the PAQP software, on the rig interface page, while the program is polling your 705, click Save Settings under the Rig List.
Start AC Log and click Load Settings and select the file you saved.
That will do the trick.
Please click the Copy to Clipboard button on the rig interface form and send along your 705 settings, so that I can add them to the web site.

Just took a quick look at the manual. It looks a lot like the 7300. The default ID is A4. The major difference I see is that there are two ports, one for CI-V (Port one) and one for rtty decode and DV data. This is on Page 8-14 of the basic manual. Think I would try setting it up as a 7300, change the address and see what happens. Steve, AI3KS On 20/10/11 10:36, Scott Davis via groups.io wrote:

Re: Doing it the hard way
I understand completely
I know it is a massive task that would be impossible to complete and keep up with. Here's an idea How about a list of your contest programs and the contests that they 'work' with? For example I used the WAE program for the Makro RTTY contest, with the following 2 quirks A station insisted on using LZ/383W or whatever. I simply reversed it, made a note and changed it using ADIF master later To get the grid squares to be accepted I had to send them via the fldigi log macro, and could not type them in your logger It gave me a useable ADIF file, i used ADIFMaster to check it, and the adifCabrillo to make the Cabrillo file Nice, easy, no complaints. I plan to do the same for the upcoming JARTS RTTY contest. It juse want your age.. In RTTY contests you REALLY find out HOW OLD most hams are. I'm not worried about all the points, etc done by the programs. The dup check is enough. Being forgetful, each time I have to experiment with several of the programs to find one that fits. I will hopefully start to write down the results in the future. A handy chart with a few notes would be handy, if you have someone with more spare time than me. Keep up the good work, Its contests, contests, until the virus goes and the sunspots come :) -- 73, Bo W4GHV since '54 https://www.qrz.com/db/W4GHV

Re: Flex Radio

Hi JoAnn, The FlexRadio series is a great lineup! I have a FLEX-6500 and am very pleased with its superior performance. The main difference in digital operations from your Yaesu FT-1000MP is that you no longer need a modem like Tigertronics' SignaLink or West Mountain Radio's RIGblaster between your computer and your transceiver. The FlexRadio series connects directly to your computer. Read the article that Scott, KA2K, referenced in his post. Let us know if you have any questions. 73, Dave K4EET

Re: PST Rotator] [was Obtaining frequency data from the contest loggers]
Scott - KA2K
Ive reached out to the PSTRotator group also. I will try again with some other N3FJP contest loggers, but CQWWDX is not working for me. ACLog works great. @ Pat ON3CQ -To be clear this is regarding obtaining frequency data for the Steppir control module and not Azimuth rotator control data. I might add that I am interfacing the N3FJP loggers through Win4Yaesu and virtual ports but see no reason why that would be causing problems with the contest loggers but not ACLog. I will try the contest logger straight through to radio and advise of the result.
Thanks

Re: PST Rotator] [was Obtaining frequency data from the contest loggers]
Scott Davis
Hi Scott,
I changed the subject line of your thread, as it really pertains to PST Rotator, but your subject line would not get the attention of PST Rotator users to prompt them to read your post.
I've not tried PST Rotator myself, but I have heard from others that it works identically with the contest software and AC Log. Hopefully someone with direct experience can chime in and confirm that.
Alternatively, you might contact the author, Codrut directly and check with him here: codrut.buda@...

I am not familiar with the internals of these applications and am not actually sure how the freq info exchange takes place but It seems that only ACLog makes frequency data available to PST Rotator and the contest loggers do not. Am I overlooking something or is this just the way it is?

Re: SDQP log missing

Hi Dale,
Thanks for your e-mail. To see the default location of your log file, click File > Show File Locations. If you clicked File > Save As and saved to another location, you'll need to remember the file name you gave it and where you saved it.
The default location in AC Log is:
C:\Users\YourWindowsUserProfile\My Documents\Affirmatech\N3FJP Software\ACLog\NameYouGaveYourContestLog.mdb
AC Log isn't designed for contesting and therefore will not create the Cabrillo file, score your log, etc. In the future, always use the proper contest program for each contest. You'll find the South Dakota QSO Party software here:
