Hi Folks, There are new radio drivers (.RIG files) available for the ICOM IC-7600 and IC-7700. These drivers use the v1.10 and v1.20 radio firmware (respectively), and can now tell when the radio is in "split" mode (instead of transceive) and write the Rx= frequency to the "Notes for this QSO" field automatically. These radio files are ONLY for DX4WIN 8.05 and later, because DX4WIN needed code changes to support this new ICOM functionality. The IC-7800 was already supported in the DX4WIN 8.05 release.
http://dx4win.ad1c.us/radios/ (note: this is a new URL for radio stuff). Each .ZIP file contains two .RIG files - one which sets the CW filter to 250 Hz when going to a DX spots, and the other which sets to the CW filter to 500 Hz. Make sure to go to QSO | Contest Mode and put "$$" in the "Text to add to QSO note" field if you want the Rx= frequency recorded for split frequency operation. You do *not* need to check the "Contest Mode Enabled" box. You can download the latest ICOM firmware from here: http://www.icom.co.jp/world/support/download/firm/ Note that the v1.10 firmware for the IC-7600 is not currently available from the ICOM web site (the latest is 1.03). If you need a copy of v1.10, let me know. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS YOU MAY ENCOUNTER WHILE UPGRADING YOUR ICOM's FIRMWARE. PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL OF ICOM's DOCUMENTATION. YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. Thanks to Guy ON4AOI for developing the .RIG files, Dick, K7VC for testing the IC-7700 driver, and Jim, AD1C for testing the IC-7600 driver. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <[email protected]>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
