[LOGic] Logform Issue

Sun Jan 4 11:08:59 EST 2009

I do not have a SteppIR, but in reviewing the DOCS for TRX, I do see that
the SteppIR window does have a 180 degree button. 
I use TRX on 2 systems networked because my rotators are controlled by the
second computer. The rotator control on the main computer controls the
rotators on the second computer (long story as to why I must do it that way)
but it works.

I'm just starting to use TRX-Manager, but it seems to me that it's just as 
easy to log directly into LOGic, especially from the Spot Manager. I'm 
running a SteppIR 3 element Yagi with the 30-40 meter driven element. I'm 
not sure there's a way to activate its 180 degree function remotely for 
quick long path checking -- I'm looking into that.
