When connected to my Ft950, N1MM Plus knows the band and mode the 
transceiver is in, but not the S-meter reading or much else. In most cases, 
you don't want S-meter readings to go straight into your log.

Hi all:

I use N3FJp's software and I was wondering if connected to a supported rig 
for control, is the band, mode, freq and S-9 automatically fillede in or do 
you have to enter a call sign 1ST then press the tab key to get the software 
to pole the rig for the rest of the info?
I'm thinking of if a blind user wanted a 160/70CM all mode mobile/compact 
rig, there are very few options to shoose from. You have the Elecraft 
products which are very expensive to get up here in Canada. You have the 
Icom IC-7100 with touch screen along with the Yaesu FT-991. Not sure if the 
TS-2000 is available with the remot head option anymore and then there's the 
TS-480 and then you'd have to buy a transverter and give up the 10M band. At 
the end of the day, the IC-7100 is the cheaper option of the lot.
Doesn't look good and the good rigs from ago, IC-706 etc wouldn't be a good 
rig if fairly old. Somputer tech don't age well, not like older 
transister/tubed equipment.
