Ci V Icom Software For Use With 7700

• • • 7.0 Software for CI-V radios Here I try to list some software for the ICOM CI-V interface which is available on the web. The list contains freeware, shareware and commercial products, some do support other interfaces and other manufacturers. I am aware that this list is not complete. If you have anything to add, or think your product is not properly presented, just drop me a line. I did not test all of the these products and am not responsible for any problems you might have with the products. I am in no way connected to any of these products except of course the ones I wrote myself:-) If you have any additions or corrections to this list please let me know, please send an e-mail, see 'Impressum' (Imprint) for contact details. List of CI-V capable Software CI-V Test Ekki, DF4OR Freeware CI-V Test for Win98 (others not tested, but should work) is a simple program to display received CI-V messages in Hex and text, and send commands for test purposes to the rig.

You will require a CI-V interface of some kind: a physical serial port on the Windows-based PC (eg COM1, COM2. Bosch Esi Tronic Keygen. ) or a USB to serial adapter plus an Icom CT-17 CI-V interface, or a similar homebrew device. I have tested the software using both arrangements but be aware that I have not asserted DTR or CTS on the serial.

This program is not intended to convienently control your rig, just explore the functions of CI-V. Pro Mem Edit Ekki, DF4OR Freeware Pro Mem Edit for Win98 (others not tested, but should work) is a small program to read, edit and store the memories of the 756Pro, 756Pro2.

This is a work in progress. Will not work on other rigs, will include 746 and 746Pro in the future. Pro Key Set Ekki, DF4OR Freeware Pro Key Set for Win98 (others not tested, but should work) is a small program to read, edit and store the CW keyer memories of the 746, 746Pro, 756Pro, 756Pro2.

Ci V Icom Software For Use With 7700a

ILGdb Barry, K4MG Freeware ILGdb I have written a free program that interfaces most ICOM radios with the ILG radio frequencies database (available for free from the internet) and lets you click a station in the database to tune your radio to the station, or scan the list looking for stations that are on the air. The data can be sorted by clicking on any column, or reverse sorted by reclicking. You can also select by language and if the station is broadcasting now. FREQ DB Icom Barry, K4MG Freeware Freq DB Icom I have written a program that interfaces with a text file of frequencies plus other data and tunes your ICOM radio. You create this data yourself, and can use almost any data you wish. You use the program by clicking a station in the file to tune your radio to the station or net, or scan the list looking for nets that are on the air. You can optionally have a column that contains the time and day of the week a net is on, and the program converts it to the Date/Time On.

The columns can be sorted. The program should work with all ICOM radios that use CIV addressing except the 731 and 735. IC746 control Russ, KU4YJ Freeware IC-746 control Its as simple as point and click. Left click will turn counter clockwise, and right click will turn clockwise. Set your comm Port and baud rate from the pull down menus before you click the POWER button. The POWER button doesnt actually turn the radio on or off, but it does start and stop the code.

Make sure you radio is set to the same baud rate you choose. I have not implemented repeater or TSQL functions yet. If a button is active, the cursor will change in most cases to a cross.

For the cases with an inner and outer knob, inner will be a cross and outer will be an up arrow. Since Icom didnt allow software control for every feature, not all buttons or knobs are active. The CALL button is a bit weird since there is no direct software command.

I anticipate tweaking how that guy works. YPLog Tony, VE6YP Shareware (Eval.

Version available) YPlog for WIN95/98/ME/NT/2K is a ham radio logging and radio control program. The control panel works with all Icom, Kenwood, some Yaesu and Ten-Tec radios.
