Dave, I went thru the same pain. (IC7800, PW-1, DXBase2005, SteppIR) I finally ended up doing the following:
1: parallel connections of PW-1, SteppIR on the 7800 CI-V bus and 2: use the DB serial port output/input on the 7800 for the PC with the DXBase2005 program. 3: go to 19200 Baud now it works OK 99% if the time. Every once in a while the DXBase senses the wrong frequency, but the PW1 and Steppir synch is 100%. 73 Karl N1DL -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Gynn Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 6:46 AM To: [email protected]; "Reflector <mailto:"@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dxbase] Icom CI-V connections Hi Folks Although this is a little off track I wonder if anyone can help me. For some time I have operated with DxBase 2005, RigBlaster Pro, Icom 7800 and a Steppir 3 El Beam all operating quite satisfactorily at 9600 baud via the CI-V connections. I have added in the last few days a Icom PW-1 Euro and now it's a nightmare to get the lot to stay together. If connect the Icom 7800 directly to the PW-1 that will work, then if I add in the other units it all eventually works but then for no reason one or other decides to ignore the CI-V messages. I have spoken with Icom Uk and they have emailed Icom Japan but as yet no reply. I should add I have followed the Icom America suggestions on how to get various rigs working with the PW-1 but that doesn't help in this case. It would appear to be a problem with the number of CI-V units connected. Each morning after switching off at night I have to go through the whole proceedure.... I would appreciate any suggestions.
