While this is cool and cute, I have never had any reason to actually use this feature. MixW will open multiple receive windows as alluded to above, either using the same mode, or a different mode. This is good in contests, you can be working one station, while decoding another station which is within your passband..
Once you are done with the first station, you can switch to the second station, work him. You can walk the passband working all stations in it, then retune and start again. MixW offers many modes, and the ability to add other modes , assuming there is an appropriate. The authors have built into MixW the ability to add modes, and have shared this information with the programming community. There are many options for each mode, too many to go into here.
Suffice to say, there more than most users will even bother to learn. The decoding ability is good to very good, depending on mode. CW is not so good, while MT is great. Some of this is due to the mode itself, and some of it is due to MixW not decoding correctly, my opinion , but on the whole MixW does a good enough job for me that I will not even consider moving to a different program.
I am not sure how much of this is reluctance on my part to train up on a different program, so again, my bias may be showing. In any case, MixW works very well for me in contests, and in normal use. Contest Support:. MixW supports a huge number of contests, see the contest download page at the MixW site for a list. There are some missing, and other programs support some of them, but again, no single program will do everything for me, so this is not unexpected, or bad, just the way things are in the real world.
A typical contest exchange consists of the following steps:. Tune in station Double Click Callsign Single click the Contest macro Move on to next station Goto Step 1 The above steps will log the station, send an eQSL , send my exchange, copy the received exchange into the log, and save the contact. If I have things set up correctly, MixW will give me a running score! I then retune, using the mouse selecting the next station in the passband, and start at item 2 again.
Looping this process a few hundred times will get you a pretty nice score in any contest. This does not really cover just how much MixW can do, you have to use it to see…. DDE will let MixW talk to other programs, and pass information to them. This allows say a logging program to get the last contact information from MixW and autopopulate your logbook. This is a nice feature to have, as you might not like the log MixW provides.
Of course, the other software will need to want to read the DDE data from MixW, so it is not just up to MixW to make this sort of thing happen. MixW supports a number of Macros. You can have an entire QSO, and never type anything if you really want to.
Most other programs support macros. MixW will change Macros based on the mode you are on. This is good for contesting… I have a set of Macros I use for PSK, they are talkative, take a lot of time to send, and in general very human friendly.
MixW also has a mode where you can have one set of Macros for all modes. Some of MixW macros are pretty smart, I have one that tells the other station how far they are from me in KM or Miles. MixW will control your rig. I have an Icom PRO III, there is a setup for that rig in the program already, actually there are a large number of rigs it can control, the Pro III among them , I just selected my rig type, set the com port, and was done. You move the mouse wheel and the rig moves up or down in frequency.
You do not have to touch your rig, nor do you have to type in a frequency, or move the mouse to click a little arrow. If you want to touch your rig, or move the mouse you can, but if you have used mouse wheel control, you will never want anything else again.
MixW has all the standard features for rig control, so it should work with your rig. Once learned, easy as pie to use Does just about every mode It does all functions for contesting in one program Does logging Pleasing display Decodes digital modes pretty well Seems stable Able to use external programs.
There is one that looks up the call information from QRZ. User name, location etc. In the last few weeks there has been a huge increase in the update releases. Exports logs to adif files.
