Alpha 9500 / Remote Control

Ham Radio Deluxe:
If you use HRD, it may work as is with the following radios:
IC-7600
IC-7610
IC-7700
Flex
Yeasu FT-5000
If you have a different radio, and use HRD, then install the software and try it.
If it doesn't work, contact me. It's likely, a simple addition to a spreadsheet is all that's needed

N1MM:
If N1MM controls your radio, then this software should work.

DXLab:
if DXLab controls your radio, then this software should work.

Log4OM:
if Log4OM controls your radio, then this software should work. If it's not working for you, let me know.

Logger32:
if Logger32 monitors your radio, then this software should work.

	HRD	N1MM, DXLab, Log4OM, Logger32	None
Frequency Following	Yes	Yes	Yes
Auto Input Power	Yes	No	Yes
Radios	Listed Above, plus we can add more	All	IC-7600, IC-7410, probably other ICOM radios.

Instructions for DXLab Commander

After you completely installed the 9500 software:

Start DXLab Commander.

Hit the "Config" button.

In the "General" tab, hit the "Net Serv" button.

In the Radio Group, check "Enable".

And then start my Alpha9500 program "Alpha9500SerialPortInterface.vxe".

The Alpha remote software will ask for the com port for the Amp.
After is connects, to save that port entry, press the "Setup" button, and then close the Setup page.
This stores the Alpha port setting for next time.
After that, the program will begin to capture UDP messages from DXLab Commander.
The Frequency readout will update when the Radio/Commander frequency changes.
The Amplifier will follow the radio/Commander.

Instructions for Logger32

After you completely installed the 9500 software:

Start Logger32.

On the status bar at the bottom of the Logger32 Window, right click "Radio 1", Select: "Show radio control panel".

On the right side of the radio control panel, right click, Select:"Enable UDP broadcast of radio status".

When you change frequencies on your radio, the frequency will update in about 1 second.

And then start my Alpha9500 program "Alpha9500SerialPortInterface.vxe".

You may need to change the UDP Port either in the Alpha9500 Setup page, or here: "C:\Logger32\INIs\Logger32.INI"
There are two lines of interest in the Logger32.INI file:
Enable UDP Broadcast Radio Status=True
Radio Status UDP Port=12060
The UDP port needs to match the UDP port value in the Alpha9500 Setup page.
