Good evening/morning Bill and thank you for your reply.  

 

I installed the json file in my log files directory, configured my IC-7300
with CI-V address 70h, set IC-7300 as the rig in Settings>Radio and
restarted WSJT-x V2.3.1. I was unable to get a "Green" on the CAT test in
Settings>Radio. 

 

Changing the rig definition in WSJT-x 2.3.1 to IC-7000 with or without the
json file allows me to get a "Green" on CAT and a "Red" on PTT, BUT ... when
either the Test PTT button is (soft) pushed or "Tune" on the main screen is
pushed, the radio's USB-D setting immediately reverts to USB, the radio goes
into transmit mode and no tones are transmitted. 

 

As it relates to separate CI-V addresses for the 7300, I've not yet found a
way to set CI-V Output (for ANT) to 70h and leave the main USB address at
94h. I've reached out into the IC-7300 community for help with this.  

 

Please let me know if there is a better forum for discussing (and hopefully
resolving) this issue.

 

Best regards de K9XT

Good afternoon. I am experiencing a problem with what I believe might be an
issue with WSJT CI-V addressing.  

 

My environment is WSJT-x version 2.3.1, primarily running FT-8 and FT-4. The
PC is an I-7 desktop or an I-7 laptop using Windows 10 Pro version 20H2. The
radio is an IC-7300 with version 1.40 firmware.

 

The problem with CI-V addressing occurs while operating in my RV. In this
environment, I am using a Tarheel antenna and a "TennaTronix" Tenna Tuner-2
antenna tuner. Because the Tenna Tuner-2 has a hard-coded CI-V address of
70h, I have to change the CI-V address of the 7300 to 70h from 94h and set
the configuration of WSJT-x to emulate an IC-7000 Icom radio.

 

When I set WSJT to IC-7000 and change the IC-7300 CI-V address to 70h, I get
a good CAT and PTT indications in the Settings screens, but audio tones are
not sent to the 7300 when I push the "Tune" soft button on the FT8 screen.
Also, the IC-7300's USB-D setting immediately resets to USB. I experience
this same problem on the FT4 mode screen.

 

I have successfully defined the environment as an IC-7200 (76h) and an
IC-7100 (88h) and everything appears to work properly.  Defining the
environment as an IC-7300 (94h) also works properly. 

 

I appreciate any help you might be able to give me with this problem. 

 

Best regards de K9XT.

Hi John,

thanks for joining the list. You can override the default CI-V address used
by WSJT-X/Hamlib by creating a file in the WSJT-X log files directory called
hamlib_settings.json with the following contents:

{
    "config": {
    "civaddr": "0x70"
    }
}

That will allow you to use the regular IC-7300 rig setting in WSJT-X with
your IC-730 switched to CI-V address 70h.

Having said that, I thought the IC-7300 was capable of using a different
CI-V address on the REMOTE port from the one used on the USB virtual serial
port for CAT control. You will need to unlink the REMOTE port from the USB
port in the IC-7300 menu, then set the Ci-V Output (for ANT) menu setting to
70h while leaving the main USB virtual port using the default of 94h.
