I am trying to get CQRLog to key my Elecraft K4 radio's built-in voice memories via the use of keyboard Fx (Function keys) just like on CW.
When I am using Windoze 10 and N1MM logger for contests, there is a VERY simple command that can be easily modified in a text editor to execute a radio command via CAT control. The command to use in the N1MM program is: {CAT1ASC PB1;} This command tells the radio to use CAT and send radio memory push button #1, in which I have recorded my CQ message. The radio can store up to 8 different voice messages PB1 - PB8.
I looked at this old thread (https://www.cqrlog.com/node/2326) related to an Icom radio, but it seems quite complex and involved and WAY more effort than I want to try and get into. There HAS to be a simpler way to make this happen. Any thoughts?

Bob, you need to update.
Update your Hamlib to latest one by doing compile from GitHub source.
Update Cqrlog to Alpha (124) or (125) if you like to compile it by yourself.
With those updates you can send voice messages by F-buttons when mode is ssb, am, fm. Either with old external voice script that plays voice file to rig's audio, or use rigctld command to launch rig's internal voice memories. Selecton "Send rig voice" is in preferences/trxcontrol.

Thanks for your information. What is the easiest way to upgrade my version of Hamlib? It looks like the most recent, stable release is, Hamlib 4.5.4 I'm still a noob and am unsure of the best way to get this utility downloaded and installed. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
