As shown in the attached figure, the PC is connected to the IC-7600 and the IC-PW1.
I cannot control IC-PW1 well in this condition.

You will need a second CIV connection path for DXLab Commander running in the computer to communicate with the PW1.? Do you have a second CT-18 or other way to connect your computer to the PW1?? See the connection diagram in this article. ? 73, Dave, w6de ? From:[email protected] <[email protected]>

开云体育As noted by Joe, W6TV, Dave AA6YQ, and myself W6DE, you can not share a single CIV connection with both a 7600 and a PW1 on that single CIV connection.? Dave, AA6YQ is telling you the PW1 does not behave properly on a CIV connection and you need a separate CIV connection to only the PW1 from your computer to your PW1 to properly handle the bad behavior from the PW1. ? 73, Dave, w6de ?

I'm sorry.
I did not know that [email protected] could not send attachments.
PC(DXLabCommander):USB A port?[USB cable]?IC-7600:USB B port
PC(DXLabCommander):USB A port?CT-18(interface)?[REMOTE cable]?IC-PW1:Remote socket
IC-7600:ACC-2 socket?[ACC cable]?IC-PW1:ACC-1 socket
Does this tell you the status of the connection between my radio and my PC?
The PC, IC-7600, and IC-PW1 are connected like this.
In this state, IC-PW1 cannot be controlled well.

+ AA6YQ comments below
+ No problem, Shige! + That configuration is not supported because it does not prevent the PW1 from encountering CI-V bus collisions, which can mangle frequency packets and cause the PW1 to transmit on an unexpected frequency.? Dave W6DE will help you establish the correct connectivity and configure Commander appropriately. ? ? ? ?73, ? ? ? ? ? ?Dave, AA6YQ |
开云体育I have been working directly with Shige on this matter.? Shige did get DXLab Commander installed and working directly with his PW1.? However, the absence of CIV collisions is not consistent and most time fails to work properly after shut down and a restart.? Shige has performed exhaustive tests isolating various components and re-trying shut down and start up.? But the intermittent PW1 CIV collisions persist.? ? I believe the DXLab Commander PW1 CIV fix is working properly and there is a hardware intermittent somewhere we have been unable to detect. Shige is going to try a different hardware solution that I am sending him. ? 73, Dave, w6de ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

+ AA6YQ comments below
+ If the PW1 is connected to Commander's Secondary CAT port and no other device, then the only way CI-V collisions can occur is if the PW1 transmit CI-V messages. Larry K8UT's "riding the CI-V bus" document describes the conditions under which it will do that. See section 4 in ? ? ? 73, ? ? ? ? ? ? Dave, AA6YQ |
开云体育Dave, you note: “If the PW1 is connected to Commander's Secondary CAT port and no other device, then the only way CI-V collisions can occur is if the PW1 transmit CI-V messages.” Are you saying definitively that the PW1 is never shutting up? Could you can see this in an error log? ? 73, Dave, w6de ? From: [email protected]
