[Dxbase] Rotor Control

Thu Jun 10 20:21:13 EDT 2004

RC,
When you "click" on an incoming packet spot, a lot of things happen:
1. Previous QSOs with that station are displayed.
2. Band/Mode matrix is displayed showing where you have the country
wkd/cfm.
3. Name of the country.
4. Beam heading
5. Distance.
6. Manager lookup and/or station address is displayed.
7. Previous notes for this callsign.
During normal operation, most folks like being able to see all this just by
a single click. So, we do not automatically turn the rotor. But, a second
click starts it turning.
Regards,
Courtney

Hi,
I am thinking about switch from DX4WIN to DXBase, but I have a question
about the rotor interface. I use a Yaesu G800DX rotor, and I plan to
interface it via RS-232 to DXBase. My question is, will my rotor turn when
to the correct heading when I click on a spot in the DX Cluster, or will the
rotor only turn by using the Rotor Toolbar ?
