Порядок настройки

When you want to use the program you need to know how to connect the radio(s), packet or Telnet etc. to the program. Also the Exchanges need to be setup for the contest. Below some information how this could be done. Next to reading this chapter also read Basic Functions, the Key Assignments and the Quick Tour to have basic program information.

Setup station information

The information in the Station dialog is self-explanatory. Make sure that you enter your call as the station call sign. Many of the fields in this dialog are used in creating contest entries, so do update them with their correct values. Like calculating beam headings, distances, sending a bug report via e-mail etc.

Setting up radio control

The program really shines when a radio is connected so that is what we have to do.

Setup packet/telnet

We need spots to fill the bandmaps so the next thing to do is connect to a DX cluster. This can be done in the Configurer under the hardware tab for telnet and packet. For telnet a Internet connection is needed. The telnet cluster to connect can be (also) selected, yes again in the Configurer under the hardware tab.

The hardware tab in the configurer is also the place to select the right parameters for setting up a packet TNC.

Setup up PTT-ing the rig/sending CW

Sending CW and PTT-ing the radio can be done three different ways.

Setup up wav files (SSB)

The sound (wav) files which have to be made have some standard texts, some are contest dependant. There are two kind of sound files used by the program.

How to send messages in CW?

You need to do two things:

 

 

To send the serial number in any message, put the character # as part of the CW message in CW buttons above. There is a list of other characters which can be used to substitute. The macros and some examples can be found on the macros page.

How to set up function keys with 'Enter Sends Message mode'

Below an example of a possible ESM setup from Jose, CT1AOZ.

Setup the function keys ('Config | Configure Ports, Telnet Address, Other | Tab: Function Keys')

Enable all check box options except Monitor via PC speaker (but you may if you want to. NB only when using Windows 95, 98 or ME).

Now set the '' MACROS '' in the 'Config | Change CW buttons', the same settings are used for the SSB and the RTTY buttons.

As Jose writes: Try this and I'm sure you will be happy with the performance of the program and the Enter Sends Message mode...

Command line parameters

The program has a command line parameter to select the used 'N1MM logger.ini' file.
Example: "C:\Program Files\N1MM Logger\N1MM Logger.exe" SO2R.ini
