Re: PuTTY on other radios
|
One tricky thing is that some radios won't easily accept CAT commands that are typed by hand into a terminal program. They require that the commands be sent in a single burst with no pauses between characters, something that software does naturally but human typists do not. PuTTY can be configured not to send anything until you prese Enter, and then send the whole line at once; that mode will work better with those radios. Aside from that, manually typing CAT commands can be a good way to troubleshoot connections.

Hi Karl
On the IC-7300 yes. When properly attached to a PC you will see
an audio codec (sound card) and 2 serial ports. eg comx under
Windows and something like /dev/ttyUSBx or /dev/ttyACMx under
Linux. You should talk to it with the CI-V CLI/text language (see
Icom manual) but probably better to use rigctl or similar under
hamlib.
Many amateur based rigs from maybe the mid 1980's had some kind
of serial interface. Some were TTL only (so need converting for
RS232 use). The socket on the radio wasn't always a DB9.
It's also possible (but I dont really know) that a rig that can
also be a network/IP device, so Telnet or SSH might even work
through PuTTY. I imagine this would be common with newer DSP style
radios, especially those with an Ethernet socket.

Will PuTTY work with other
tranceivers?
I looked it up and explanations are way above my understanding.
Would like to see it work on IC-7300, RS-918 (mcHF clone) and a
Malahiteam DSP-2. Actually, any xcvr or rcvr.
