[Dxbase] Two Radio usage

Wed Oct 10 10:03:04 EDT 2012

Good morning Kim. Well I have diligently went through all the options 
many times before I posted the question. There , as far as I can see, 
nothing that denotes a "default" radio. Under "Log" options it has a 
check box for "Load band & mode from HF transceiver" not any particular 
transceiver so that statement is ambiguous as it does not denote which 
transceiver. Under either Radio 1 or Radio 2 tabs there is nothing that 
denotes a default transceiver ie: "Connect HF Radio (1or2) serial 
interface". Under the Internet tab all it says is "Connect interface at 
start up" That has to mean the internet interface to the logging 
program. There is no mention in the help files what the interaction is 
between clicking on a spot and rig control. Man it is so close, you can 
enter a qso manually and have it track the second radio but you cannot 
qsy the second radio using a packet spot...
If there is a statement somewhere in those User settings I am not seeing it.
