[WT-support] Can't get rig control working

[Jim Martin]

Hello Dick
I have been struggling with my Icom (746pro) this week as well.  For some strange reason Icom comms seem to be more fragile than others to set up and run.
I have been using the microkeyer and the MK2R and found the following settings work most reliably.
9600 n 1
DTR and RTS set to 'always off'
I have Transceive switched off and 'don't poll' unchecked
Router always seems to manage to communicate with the rig even if some settings are not quite right, the applications however seem to be more sensitive!
N1MM has the advantage in that you can restart radio comms from the band map (right click 'reset radio') I have not found a similar command in WT.......yet
These settings have been stable and working for the past few days so will give it a good test today in IARU and then hopefully all will be well for the IOTA contest in two weeks time.

  Subject: [WT-support] Can't get rig control working


  I'm trying to get radio control working with my Icom 7800, a microHAM microKEYER and WinTest.

   

  The microHAM Device Router (version 4.0.10) is talking to the rig.

   

  When I start the N1MM logger, I'm getting the correct rig interaction with N1MM.

   

  So I believe the rig, microKEYER and Device Router are working correctly.

   

  I'm asking WinTest to talk to COM3 (the virtual port I've configured the microHAM router for the rig), I've identified my rig as an ICOM 7800, and I'm using the same 9600 N 2 setting as N1MM and the device router have.

   

  WinTest doesn't seem to be able to figure out the frequency my radio is on.

   

  I'm using the Options - Configure Interfaces. menu choice to get the Interfaces configuration page.

   

  I've clicked COM3, set it to Radio 1, 9600-N-2.

   

  I've set the Radio 1 transceivers to IC-7800 and have "Use CI-V transceiver" set.  My rig is at address 6A 9600 baud.

   

  Winkey on COM5, which goes through the same microHAM router into the microKEYER seems to be working fine.

   

  Any suggestions?  I can use N1MM again, but I thought I'd like to use the new Win-Test logger I just bought if I can get it working right.

   

  Thanks & 73 de Dick, K6KR
