I just upgrade from an IC 7600 to an IC7610. Using the same LCU3-I-USB cable, Win 11, and downloaded the latest driver software.
I just noticed that I can hear a click and see a "blip" on the Spectrum Scope when I hit the PPT in SSB mode that is in sync with the polling rate. If I change the rate, the blip also changes. This only happens in SSB.
The audio blip is the same at 1 watt and 100 watts.? The blip on the Spectrum scope also does not increase as power goes up.
I'm polling at 19.2 and .500 sec.?
Any ideas as to cause ???

Hi All,
I have?a 7610 here myself and can't hear anything like what Jim describes.? Our software just sends the poll rig command to Windows, which routes it to the selected com port and then listens for a response.??
?I am by?no?means?a?hardware guy, so I really don't have?any insights on why that?would be occurring.??If anyone has any insights into Jim's question I would be grateful for your reply.
Thanks in advance!

Nope – nothing like that at all.? I set the waterfall display for maximum resolution and could not see anything like that in any way.? Even watching on the big monitor I couldn’t see anything.? I tried it on 6m because the band was dead and the waterfall was clean.? I should have been able to detect even a small anomaly.? Is this everywhere, or band-dependent?? And to further clarify, when you “hit the PTT”, I assume you are pressing the button on the microphone and not sending a voice recording through AC-Log to the radio?? What microphone are you using?? I have the Icom SM-30.
FWIW, my polling is set to 115200 and 500-ms, and has always worked flawlessly.? I also have an IC-905 set up as my second radio.? It is also at 115200 and 500-ms, and also works flawlessly.? I’ve made several contacts on 1296.170 using Q65 and it worked perfectly.? It is possible that I just don’t know what to look for…. But I think I’d hear the “POP”…… and I do not.
Perhaps if Jim-W1WIU could post a screen shot of what he is seeing……… ?

I would recommend changing the baud rate down to 4800 or 9600 and set the polling rate to 1 second and see what happens.? With the small amount of data that is transfered for each poll.there really isn't a need for those faster baud rates.? In my experience, especially with the USB to Serial converters, when using 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit, and no handshaking, baud rates above 9600 can become problematic though those converter drivers.?

Hey Jeff.
The IC-7610 is a direct USB cable.? No Serial to USB converters. ? Mike. ? ?

I've designed a custom layout for my POTA days.
The design work was done with display settings at 100% scaling and 1920x1080 resolution. The form was full screen.
The first row of labels and entry fields are fine, but the second row has problems (see screen shot). For lack of a better
description, the entry fields are "squooshed", i.e., too short and so all the text is not visible.
I've tried moving the fields up/down, thinking that they were overlapping with the unshown "comments" entry field
below. Looking at the efl file, there doesn't appear to be a way to set the height of the fields (I can understand
why).
Any suggestions for unsquooshing that second row?

If you are communicating with the radio using serial parameters, then the converter is built into the radio.

Perhaps – don’t know.? But mine has been running without fail for over 2 years at 115200.? So if it is, the internal unit doesn’t seem to be saddled with the problems of the external adapters.
Take care sir….. still love your tag-line. ? ? Vy73 - Mike - KD5KC. El Paso, Texas - DM61rt. SOTA W5T-Texas Association Manager. ? ? ? ? ?

Hi All,
Thanks Scott, Mike and Jeff for your inputs.
I can only hear it ansd see it when I press PPT or foot pedal, and do not talk.
Changing the baud rate and or the polling rate has no effect on the "blip".
I tried all combinations of both.
I'm getting the same results with both the Heil iCM and Heil ProSet Plus mics.,
using the PPT or foot pedal.
Changing either the RF power level, mic Gain, or Receive ATT has no effect.
Receive volume does increase the output audio in the headset.
I'm using the same LCU-3-I-USB cable (USB on computer end, .5mm at rig end ) that I used on the IC7600, and I did download the latest software version.?
Using USB Com Port 3 on Win 11 computer, to 3.5mm CI-V Remote jack on IC7610. The same set up I used with the IC7600.
One "good" observation is that it does not show , nor can I hear any "blip" in AM or FM mode, Only on USB and LSB ???
Still baffled and open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Jim? W1WIU
