Thanks Steve for doing the video. You are a lot better at it than I am. You were a little too fast on the draw! A lot of changes went in between Tuesday's build and today (Wed), including the one you said you wanted - to tune the radio with the mouse wheel. I haven't updated the doc yet, but that is today's task. Things that I would urge people to check out are: 1. Those red markers represent the software finding signals for you. When you are heads-down contesting, you can use shift+up/down to jump to the next signal. There are options to determine what signals it stops at, e.g. don't stop at dupes. It will be worthwhile to learn to adjust the "grass" level to maximize the valid signals found. 2. The waterfall also works in "portrait" mode where the spectrum is vertical and the waterfall flows from right to left. 3. A static filter is available to help finding signals. Detected static crashes do not show on the spectrum 4. Off camera were "buttons" which allow changing the zoom level of center mode on the IC7300 with the mouse. You can also set the ref level with the mouse wheel if you hold Ctl down while turning with the mouse in the spectrum area. Ctl-mouse wheel in the waterfall will tune at an accelerated rate (see doc). 5. Clicking on a spot jumps to the frequency (to 100 Hz) of the spot. Clicking on the spectrum jumps to that frequency unless you are near a red "dot" frequency. It will "snap" to that frequency. Clicking in the waterfall tunes to that exact frequency, moves the cursor to that frequency, ready for you to use the mouse wheel to fine-tune. Keep your eye on the Experimental gallery for new versions, this code is improving quickly! n1mm.hamdocs.com/tiki-list_file_gallery.php?galleryId=20 73, Tom - N1MM
Tom this is great. I am getting a better camera which should help. Have you considered offering the bandscope outside of your logger? Lots of us are non-contesters and don't need the contest capability. I use Logger32 here. I would use N1MM if it could do just routine casual QSOs with unlimited notes. 73
Sorry Steve, the N1MM+ team is nine people and we all agree to leave the general purpose logging space to others. We support it in a very limited way that allows a subset of users who have very rudimentary requirements to log. This provides us with testing of new releases during the week. That is its only purpose.
Thank you Steve for the video. I saw it and got mine running earlier today. I've learned more on how to use my 7300 watching your videos than reading the manual, 73s
Hi, I want to buy this software also for my 7300, is the waterfall smooth? It looks choppy in the video, I have the same problem with the SDR Control app, where the creator Marcus makes excuses for the slow USB in the 7300. Thanks a lot for the reply, 73!! OK1TCM!
You just showed one point. How do you get on Reverse Beacon network? How do you get the big screen out of N1MM+? How does it look like making a contact with N1MM+ .... during a contest? Too many questions left unanswered. 73 Harvey KM4JA
So if I understand this right, we can't use the CI-V cable at all. N1MM website says "Must use the USB cable virtual COM port for radio control. Unplug the CI-V cable." So this is going to kill FSK if using two cables???
I see no reason for unplugging the CI-V cable. I have it plugged in and am running my logger32 via it and N1MM via the USB virtual serial port. Both use the Hex address 94 at the same time. Of course the speed of the CI-V seems to be limited to 9600 but that's fast enough for a log.
Hey brother Steve. So here it is over a year later with n1mm software since you made this video. Has it improved any as far as speed and accuracy and has n1mm offered the option to use this without logging? Just picked up a 7300 and didn’t know whether to go this route or hdsdr and a dongle. Seems complicated to me as I worry about overloading the external sdr if I choose to go that route. 73 from Ky
Hello Glock person with no name or callsign. Love Ky. I'm from Ashland. I don't bother with this much. The scope on the rig is good enough and lot less trouble.
Steve Ellington sorry Steve. This is Jerod , w4zxt. I’ve been picking your brain for a few years here and the EFHW group. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
hi steve thanks for video i have a yaesu ftdx 10 radio connect to laptop win 7 and instald the n1mm soft ware all works ok only i can not see any signals on the spectrum display band map works fine logger works fine only spectrum display can you help me 73 ON3YNL
It looks Very very slow, Very jumpy , Looks almost as bad as the bandscope on the 756,7600 bandscopes, The band scope on the 7300 isn't normally this slow and jumpy.
