[Dx4win] Icom IC-7800 rig file
I see that Icom has updated the firmware for the IC-7800 to ver 2.30. The new firmware include the long awaited ability to read split frequencies. Has anyone figured out how to implement this in the DX4Win rig file/ 73 Peter G3ZSS __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Icom IC-7800 rig file
Guy, Thanks for looking. I suspect that similar firmware upgrades will be made available for other Icom rigs in the coming weeks, so there will be a lot of interest in having Paul look at what will need implementing in DX4win to support reading split frequencies across a wide range of Icom transceivers.

Cmd 1C is completely changed to what DX4WIN probably can to read the split freq but the previous value-check for cmd 1C was never used in DX4WIN.

Re: [Dx4win] Icom IC-7800 rig file
Guy It must be possible to implement as I saw that an update to DXLab has been released yesterday to support this split feature. The firmware has also been released in readiness for Icom's forthcoming RS-BA1 IP Remote Control Software which looks very interesting. Peter G3ZSS Quoting ON4AOI on4...@skynet.be: Peter not quite sure about that, Have been asking ICOM for many years to add it And 95% of the time they even didn´t answer my mails. Last year when I was in F´hafen I was lucky to Meet a staff member of Icom (Ja) who I explained Again the WHY and how they handle emails 1 week later I got this mail Dear Mr. Guy, Ive just got an answer regarding readout of the VFO B via PC / CI-V . Unfortunately, its a negative response. For reasons of compatibility with other devices without a second VFO, ICOM Inc did not (and will not) include this function. We are sorry, but we cannot give you any other information. Another thing is that we suspect the new doc is incorrect Command 0F (split on/off) is still working like b4 but in the doc is marked Read Split setting Nothing is mentioned about setting it anymore, Confusing ..

[Dx4win] Editing RIG files
Can somebody point me to where I can find a detailed description of how to edit the rig files in DX4WIN. I am not happy with the way DX4WIN controls my Elecraft K3 when I click on a spot. Sometimes the K3 switches band and not mode. Other times the K3 sets the filters to the narrowest bandwidth. So I would like to see if I can tweak the RIG file to improve the performance. Note I am using the latest version of DX4WIN with the latest version of the K3 RIG file. 73 Peter G3ZSS ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win

[Dx4win] IC781 Address
Stu It is very straight forward. In DX4WIN set the address to 26 and baud rate to 1200. These assume you have the default settings on your 781, which can be checked through the rig's screen. 73 Peter G3ZSS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of STU Sent: 09 September 2003 13:07 To: DX4WIN POSTINGS Subject: [Dx4win] IC781 Address Is anybody out there operate DX4WIN using an Icom IC781? If so, can you tell me what the radio address is so I can change it in the preferences. Should I use just ICOM for the radio type in the preferences or use the IC781 for the radio type? Is there anything unique I need to know or is everything else pretty much basic?

Many thanks to all the respondants. In summary, iIt appears that you can use the regular Kenwood settings for the Elecraft K2 and it should work just fine. 73 Peter
