Request for modified buttons for record and playback

Dave

I had the exact same frustration until Steve (K5FR) Nance pointed out to me that I could map these controls to a Genovation Keypad via DDUTIL.  I now have physical record and playback buttons.

I got this from Steve Nance

MAke sure every toggle gets its own index number (P1). Map the Genovation to this macro.

 

DDTG - Toggles 2 macros (mod eff v3.2.1)

Form: DDTG P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 ;

Parm: P1 = Toggle index number (2 numeric digits {00-19})

Parm: P2 = Separator (1 char {':' recommended})

Parm: P3 = **** = 3 digits for On macro

Parm: P4 = Separator (1 char {':' recommended})

Parm: P5 = **** = 3 digits for Off macro

Uses: DDTG01:020:021; toggles macro pair #01 for macros 20 and 21

 

So far I have mapped the following toggle buttons..

0  Master Mute

1 MOX/PTT  

2 TUNE

3  Diversity 

4  AGC       

5  Slice Mute 

6  NB        

7  NR        

8  Slice Lock

9 Record     

10 Play     

11 Amp Standby Operate 

The other alternative is to use Stu's K6TU iPad App which does much of what you need for contesting without your having to write macros..

I actually use both but since I will be remoting a lot the next few months and I can't use the iPad app remote without a VPN, the macro buttons are the preferred solution..

Thanks Howard, Steve and Dave....mapping toggle buttons is a nice feature....generally I have things working but I hv a problem when I open up a browser.....

- Flex 6500 started- reboot PC    (i7  32Gig memory  Win 10 Pro)
- start SSDR and connect to radio
- start DDUTIL
- macro buttons in DDUTIL all work   Tune on...Tune off...Tune Toggle
- CP24 keypad buttons all work
- F key all work
- Ctrl Shft M  on highlighted macros all work


now some problems....
- start Chrome.....F keys no longer work...shut down chrome and F keys will work again as long as I exercise a button in DDUTIL or on the keypad


- close Chrome and start Microsoft Edge....same problem


when I try and use the F keys in chrome or edge, they attempt to exercise another function, for example in Chrome if I press F6 it highlights the url address bar.

it seems like macros will work with a browser open as long as I don't use the F keys


any ideas?

Thanks
Steve
