The Rig Type setting allows a wide range of rigs to be connected - the available and default settings will vary with the rig. The Rig Serial
Connection should be the port the rig is connected to or a virtual port on appropriate software like LP-Bridge or com0com. Set the Baud rate
to as high as your rig can take, data, stop and parity are internally set by the Rig Type. If the CAT connection is unwanted, there is an OFF
setting which disconnects NaP3 from the rig.
CAT Polling can enables/disables polled data used by the selected rig type, autocompleted for these rigs.
This display may disappear in future
releases.
IF Frequency Offsets may need to be applied to position the displayed passband correctly where the information is not easily read from CAT
information.
Global Offset is used to set any needed difference between the rig IF frequency and the display centre. For example, the LP-Pan needs an
offset of about 6kHz, the KX3 sometimes needs an offset of 8kHz and The FUNcube Dongle Pro+ needs an offset to move the dc hump out of
the way.
Frequency Limits areauto set by the rig type but may be changed, higher limits revealing 6m and 2m band buttons. For a K3 with the K144
option the Maximum needs to be set to 146 or 148 according to local bandplan.
For rigs such as the K3 and K2 which swap the local oscillator injection 'side', the necessary IQ swap frequency is internally set within the Rig
Type definition.
Rig Timing controls a number of delays in the main polling loop. The Polling Interval can usually be safely reduced to 200msec to improve
responsiveness, otherwise these should rarely need to change.
