Re: IC-PW1 configuration in DXLabCommander
+ AA6YQ comments below
To check the operation of IC-PW1, I disconnected the PC (DXLabCommander) and checked the connection between IC-7600 and IC-PW1 only. The operation of IC-PW1 is normal even after repeatedly turning the power on and off. Next, I went through the “Controlling the DXLab IC-PW1” manual, step 1 through step 13, all without fail. At that time, the INPUT 1 light stopped blinking in step 10. I then turned off the IC-PW1 as instructed in step 11. When the IC-PW1 is turned on in step 13, the PW1 alert lights up and when clicked, the IC-7600&DXLabCommander and the IC-PW1 frequency are linked. So far, everything is as described in the manual. The problem occurs when the power is turned off and on again, so I checked the operation in the following numbered order. 1, IC-7600 & IC-PW1 [ON] ? Commander [ON] : IC-7600 and Commander are interlocked, IC-PW1 [uncontrollable] PW1 alert is not lit 2, from the state of 1, IC-7600 & IC-PW1 [OFF] ?

After confirming that the IC-7600 is controlled by DXLabCommander, I went back and redid the settings again, looking at the IC-PW1-controlled DXLab instructions. The previous setup was also set up while looking at this manual.
At this time, I completely disconnected SteppIR from the PC, leaving only the IC-7600 and IC-PW1 connected to the PC. After setting up, the PW1 alert lights up, and after clicking it, IC-PW1 and IC-7600 can be controlled in conjunction with each other. However, if the IC-7600 and IC-PW1 are turned off and then turned on again, the IC-7600 and IC-PW1 will not work together. At this time, the AUTO LED on the IC-PW1 is lit. Once the power is turned off, the IC-7600 cannot be controlled. It is the same situation as before. I don't know how to solve this problem. I am in trouble. ?

IC-PW1 configuration in DXLabCommander
However, when I turn the I am having trouble setting up my IC-PW1 in DXLabCommander. Please help.
I am not good at English. I am writing this with translation software, so sorry if the text is strange. ?
I want to connect IC-PW1 and SteppIR to IC-7600, but the frequency control of IC-PW1 does not work together even if I set DXLabCommander and IcomPW1 control as described in the manual.
IC-7600 (Primary CAT Serial Port) is connected to PC (DELL Win11) via USB port (COM X) and IC-PW1 and SteppIR (Secondary CAT Serial Port) are connected via USB interface to the same COM port (COM Y). The IC-7600 is connected to the PC (DELL Win11) via the same COM port (COM Y). After the initial setup, when the IC-7600 and IC-PW1 are turned on, the PW1 alert lights up, and after clicking it, they can be controlled in power off and on again, the AUTO LED on the IC-PW1 is lit, but the PW1 alert on the DXLabCommander is not lit and the frequency control is not linked. Then, when the frequency is changed using the UP or DOWN switch on IC-PW1, the PW1 alert lights up, and when the AUTO LED is turned on again and the PW1 alert is clicked, the frequency control is linked. Also, sometimes, when the power is turned on again, PW1 alert lights up and when clicked, it works correctly. ?
This is the situation. Please let me know how to set it up so that I can control it correctly.
?

开云体育The current version of DXKeeper provides an "IOTAmem4win update" checkbox in the IOTA panel on the Configuration window's Awards tab.

The URL to which IOTAMe4WIN links ? In the next version of DXKeeper, the IOTA panel on the Configuration window's Awards tab contains 3 new checkboxes: -?????? Mixed -?????? HF -?????? VHF ?
