OmniRig
OmniRig is a freeware CAT control engine used in over 50 applications. All programs that support OmniRig can access the radio simultaneously.
Some Ham Cockpit plugins, such as Conventional Receiver, use this engine. If you install one of those plugins, make sure that you have the latest version of OmniRig.
To install or update OmniRig, download it from the link below and run the Setup program.
OmniRig is extensible, one can add support of a new radio by creating an INI file with the description of its CAT commands. The INI files are located in this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Afreet\OmniRig\Rigs
To get the latest set of INI files, download the
INI Files for OmniRig
package and unzip all files into the Rigs folder.
Most of the INI files have been contributed by the users. Open the file in Notepad to see who created it and how to contact the author. If your radio is currently not supported, you can create your own INI for it. The documentation and tools required for INI file creation are available on the OmniRig web page.
Tip
Delete the unused ini files from the Rigs folder to make OmniRig start faster.
