I plan on doing a "Special Event Station" And of course we will be
logging all the contacts that are made.

Now I know there are many web site that you can UP-Load your finished log,
And it will plot on a map all the locations that are in the log.
Done that many times. And we want to do something similar to that BUT....
We want it to happen Live.

Like say we contact AA6YQ, and log him. Then in real time, or as fast as
possible he gets plotted on the map.

A Map that anyone can view.

Does anyone know of any way that this can be done?

Re: IC-PW1 configuration in DXLabCommander

 

+ AA6YQ comments below

To check the operation of IC-PW1, I disconnected the PC (DXLabCommander) and checked the connection between IC-7600 and IC-PW1 only. The operation of IC-PW1 is normal even after repeatedly turning the power on and off.
Next, I went through the “Controlling the DXLab IC-PW1” manual, step 1 through step 13, all without fail.
At that time, the INPUT 1 light stopped blinking in step 10. I then turned off the IC-PW1 as instructed in step 11.
When the IC-PW1 is turned on in step 13, the PW1 alert lights up and when clicked, the IC-7600&DXLabCommander and the IC-PW1 frequency are linked. So far, everything is as described in the manual.

The problem occurs when the power is turned off and on again, so I checked the operation in the following numbered order.
　1, IC-7600 & IC-PW1 [ON] ? Commander [ON] : IC-7600 and Commander are interlocked, IC-PW1 [uncontrollable] PW1 alert is not lit
　2, from the state of 1, IC-7600 & IC-PW1 [OFF] ? IC-7600 & IC-PW1 [ON] : PW1 alert lights up.
　3, from the state of 2, PW1 alert Click : IC-7600 and Commander are not interlocked IC-PW1 [Uncontrollable].
Commander [OFF] from the state of 4, 3, ? Commander [ON] : PW1 alert does not light up IC-7600&Commander&IC-PW1 [controllable].

Here, IC-PW1 can finally be controlled.
However, when IC-7600, IC-PW1, and Commander, are turned [OFF], the next time [ON], it becomes [uncontrollable] again.
Is there something wrong somewhere other than the Secondary CAT Serial Port setting in DXLabCommander?

+ No one else who uses Commander's Secondary CAT Serial Port to control their PW-1 has reported a problem, Shige. Powering your PW1 off and then back on does not change the behavior of Commander's Secondary CAT Port. It only changes the behavior of your PW1 -- unfortunately, incorrectly. I cannot tell you why.

+ If you'd like to understand more about controlling your PW1, review this document:

www.dxlabsuite.com/commander/Riding%20the%20CI-V%20Bus%20by%20K8UT.pdf

+ It's author - Larry K8UT - was a longtime contributor to N1MM and DXLab, but is unfortunately now a silent key.

Re: IC-PW1 configuration in DXLabCommander

 

+ AA6YQ comments below
After confirming that the IC-7600 is controlled by DXLabCommander, I went back and redid the settings again, looking at the IC-PW1-controlled DXLab instructions. The previous setup was also set up while looking at this manual.
At this time, I completely disconnected SteppIR from the PC, leaving only the IC-7600 and IC-PW1 connected to the PC.
After setting up, the PW1 alert lights up, and after clicking it, IC-PW1 and IC-7600 can be controlled in conjunction with each other.
+ That's correct behavior
However, if the IC-7600 and IC-PW1 are turned off and then turned on again, the IC-7600 and IC-PW1 will not work together. At this time, the AUTO LED on the IC-PW1 is lit.
Once the power is turned off, the IC-7600 cannot be controlled. It is the same situation as before.
I don't know how to solve this problem. I am in trouble.
+ It sounds like your PW1's programming was not recorded. In?

+ did you follow step 2, step 3, and steps 7 to 13?

I want to connect IC-PW1 and SteppIR to IC-7600, but the frequency control of IC-PW1 does not work together even if I set DXLabCommander and IcomPW1 control as described in the manual.
IC-7600 (Primary CAT Serial Port) is connected to PC (DELL Win11) via USB port (COM X) and IC-PW1 and SteppIR (Secondary CAT Serial Port) are connected via USB interface to the same COM port (COM Y). The IC-7600 is connected to the PC (DELL Win11) via the same COM port (COM Y).
After the initial setup, when the IC-7600 and IC-PW1 are turned on, the PW1 alert lights up, and after clicking it, they can be controlled in power off and on again, the AUTO LED on the IC-PW1 is lit, but the PW1 alert on the DXLabCommander is not lit and the frequency control is not linked. Then, when the frequency is changed using the UP or DOWN switch on IC-PW1, the PW1 alert lights up, and when the AUTO LED is turned on again and the PW1 alert is clicked, the frequency control is linked.
Also, sometimes, when the power is turned on again, PW1 alert lights up and when clicked, it works correctly.
?
This is the situation. Please let me know how to set it up so that I can control it correctly.
+ DXLab documentation for controlling an IC-PW1 is here:



+ As a first step, I suggest the you configure Commander to control your IC-PW1 -- but not your SteppIR.

+ Furthermore, I suggest that you not attempt to change frequency by using the PW1's Up and Down buttons; to change frequency, use your transceiver or Commander.

+ After you have Commander reliably controlling your PW1, we can discuss how to add control for your SteppIR.
