THTHWin and AGWPE

 1. Download and install the TSTHWIN program into a TSTHWIN folder,

2. Download a special AGWPE driver from this site:

    http://www.qsl.net/lu7did/bin/tf2agw/tf2agw18.zip

3. In that zip file, you will find a
TF2AGW.HTM file which says do the following:

  •  UnZip the distribution file TF2AGWnn.ZIP (nn=version) into a temporary directory of your choice, e.g. C:\TEMP

  • Move the TF2AGW.DLL file from the temporary directory to the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

  • Then copy the TF2AGW.INI to the C:\Windows  folder.

  • If necessary, edit the TF2AGW.INI file in the C:\Windows folder. Look for this entry: IP_ADDRESS=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn , where  nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP Address of the machine where AGWPE is running.  If AGWPE is running on the same machine as TSTHWIN, leave the entry as  IP_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1 . Otherwise determine  the AGWPE machine's  IP address with the Windows's WINIPCFG utility and use that address.

4.  From the TSTHWIN\EXAMPLE folder,

  • copy the TSTHWIN.CFG file to the TSTHWIN\SYSTEM folder. Then edit the copy in TSTHWIN\SYSTEM folder: insert your callsign in place of any NOCALL entries that you see (I saw 2 places).  (Note: There is much more you can/should edit or delete to make TSTHWin work as you would like, but those changes are not important for running the program with AGWPE. See the TSTHWIN "help" file for more info.)

  • copy the TSTHWIN.PRT file to the TSTHWIN\SYSTEM folder. Then edit the copy in TSTHWIN\SYSTEM folder (according to the instructions in the TSTHWIN 'Help' file), so that the the last line of the .PRT file reads:

     
      4 0 1

    where
    4 is to use the TF2AGW.DLL driver;  0 is for TSTHWin to ignore the com port; and 1 is the number of AGWPE radioports you have (change if necessary for your situation).

Note: If you are running Win2000, the Windows directory  referenced above becomes "C:\WINNT\", not C:Windows.  Also, rename two files :

TF2AGW.DLL to TFWIN32.DLL
TF2AGW.INI  to TFWIN32.INI
