Paul, It appears that the ICOM 7700 doesn't have a command that can tell DXbase whether the 7700 is in the SPLIT condx..
Here are the words about the ICOM rigs from the DXbase Help File: ICOM Considerations Many of the ICOM radios, including late models such as the IC-756 line, do not provide an RS232 command to determine if the radio is in split mode. This oversight on the part of ICOM is a disappointment, but there is nothing DXbase can do about it. If your radio does not provide the capability to determine if it is in split mode, DXbase will be unable to retrieve VFOb information. The logic in DXbase requires that the radio be in split before we will extract VFOb information but without the necessary command, DXbase will never know it. Looking at the ICOM 7700 set of control commands, I do not see any command that can tell DXbase about the SPLIT mode/condx. 73 Joe wa6axe ________________________________ > To: [email protected] > Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 18:31:26 -0500 > From: [email protected] > Subject: [Dxbase] Failure to Read VFO-B in Icom 7700 > > Hi, All - > > > > I am having trouble getting DXBase to read VFO-B on my IC-7700. > > > > Writing to both VFOs does not seem to be a problem and it will read > > VFO-A but always fails to read VFO-B whether I am entering a contact > > in the log or just using the Alt-Q / Retrieve option. > > > > I am somewhat familiar with the entries in the Radios.ini file and > > have been able to manipulate them in the past but this one has me > > stumped. > > > > I did notice that when DXBase writes to the radio it appears to write > > to VFO-A, then switch the contents of A and B, write again to VFO-A > > and switch the contents again; so, reading the contents may involve > > something similar but I don't know how to affect it. > > > > Has anyone else had this trouble and figured out the solution? > > > > 73 > > Paul > > NO8D > > > ________________________________ > A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
