Using two loggers at the same time

Mark Griffin

I know this is going to sound odd, but I would like to use two different loggers at the same time, connected to my Flexradio 6400M. I would like to connect N1MM and use that as my contest logger during a contest. And I would like to use HamRacer Logger, not for it's logging capabilities but for using it for the Synthesized voice for a SSB Contest. I was thinking that if I use Com Port 4 to connect N1MM to my radio. And to use another Com Port to connect HamRacer to my radio it might work. I would just have to make sure that I have the proper settings in my Com Port File from Flexradio to do this? What are your thoughts on this?

Guys,

It can be done. Currently I use N1MM and have the CAT set at Com Port 4. I created another COM port #14 and HamRacer is using that COM Port to control my Radio. What I did was minimalize my N1MM Screen to only have one entry screen for Slice A. Where Slice B entry entry screen sits, I minimalized that and HamRacer program screen sits there. I can call CQ using HamRacer and enter the Call into the HamRacer screen. But once the QSO is done I hit escape and then go into the N1MM Entry Screen and enter the call and hit log the contact. It then goes into the N`MM Log. I need to do some more testing but I actually think this will work.

That is exactly how to do it. It works very well.

The FlexRadio CAT design is something that only Flex does. It can be done with other radios, but you have to be very creative with VSP ports.
