Nice work! Works flawlessly on a FlexRadio SmartSDR for remote ops. Would be perfect if you could use the keyboard function keys to trigger the voicekeyer.

Ernst, thanks for the reply. I’ve used it a bit—it’s simple and straightforward, no hassles. But then, of course, all sorts of thoughts start creeping in—wanting this feature or that one—and it could go on forever. I agree with you 100%. So, let’s just leave it as it is; I’d like to make a donation—purely as a gesture of appreciation for your excellent work. Best of luck and all the best to you.

Thank you very much for your kind words, Alexander. I’m really happy to hear that you enjoy using Twigger.
Regarding your suggestions: Twigger is intentionally designed to stay very small and compact, so things like larger fonts are currently left to the Windows scaling options. Support for WSJT-X/JTDX/MSHV via UDP in Twigger is mainly focused on log/QSO data, and live transfer of station details when selecting a callsign in those programs is a different feature area. As for CW computer control, that is an interesting idea, but it is not something I currently consider part of Twigger’s main purpose as a lightweight logger.
Twigger is freeware, but as mentioned on my website, I generally reserve direct support and feature requests for donors, simply because development time is limited. Still, I very much appreciate your feedback and your kind support.

Greetings, my friend. It’s a wonderful little program; I’ve always wondered how to find or create something that packs so much functionality into such a compact package. I do have two—maybe three—requests. First, I’d like the option to increase the font size, as my eyesight isn’t great. Second, I’d like to be able to launch programs like WSJT-X, JTDX, or MSHV directly from your application; I tried launching JTDX, for instance, but when I select a station, the callsign and other details don’t transfer over to your program—even though I configured the settings for 127.0.0.1 and port 2237 it would be great if you could add computer control for CW (Morse code) as well. Otherwise, the program is fantastic. I’ve never seen anything like it—a tiny program that does so much. You have my utmost respect.
Alexander.

Hi,
you need to disable “Bring to front on alert” in the settings.

I enjoy getting the spots on my desktop. But I prefer not to have the list of spots keep appearing on the screen. I prefer to have a Windows notification show me a new spot and I can go get the list when I want to see it. Like from the taskbar.
How can I get the list to stop coming on screen where I need to minimize it? I have tried a lot of combinations of check boxes in the Settings but always see the list pop up.
Many thanks!!

I have no idea, since I don’t own a FTDX101mp …

Hi Guys
I have the SS500 splitter and used it on my FT2000 and it worked great for as long as i had the FT2000. BUT, i now have the FTdx101MP and would like to continue using the SS500 splitter with the new rig. Is it possible to connect the splitter to the 101mp instead????

Thanx in advance Tim 2e0tjx UK

Ah – ok, thanks for the reply. And I think we mean the MFJ-1708 (the 1709 is a foot switch).
I’ve done this setup this past weekend (RSP1B, SDRConnect & Omnirig) , but see an “overload” warning when I transmit (and hear myself as well through the computer speakers).
Not sure if I went the RF sensing switch route my experience would be much different or not.
My antenna (3 band fan dipole) is directly over my shack (20 feet or so above, in attic) – so I’m guessing I may just be in too close of proximity.
I may need to see if I can use choke/ferrite beads to limit things.
