[Dx4win] IC-7600 USB CIV communications problem
I've solved the problem with data clashes between DX4WIN and my Icom PW1 amp and the IC-7600 rig by modifying the 7600 rig file in DX4WIN to stop DX4WIN from polling the 7600 for frequency but I'm not satisfied. DX4WIN forces me into CIV data addresses in the preferences radio files for the 7600. Since my PW1 and DX4WIN are forced to have the same CIV address that's where the problem lies. Data clashes. The IC-7600 only has a USB to computer interface and does not have a RS232 like the 7700 or the 7800 which do not utilize CIV addresses. Since the 7600 menu choices for USB serial function are CI-V or DECODE would 'decode' help if I could get DX4WIN to answer to decode? What is decode anyway? The 7600 book says DECODE: outputs decoded contents in ASCII code format. Could DX4WIN respond to the ASCII format of the USB output when setting the menu to DECODE? Maybe a different rigs rig file would work? I'm not a computer geek so this is a hunt and peck fixem for me. Thanks.

The IC-7600 only has a USB to computer interface and does not have a RS232 like the 7700 or the 7800 which do not utilize CIV addresses. Not true: The C-IV address is nothing to do with RS232 and the 7600 does have a CI-V address.
