I've read that logging software like HRDlog or (I think) Log4OM can be used with the X5105 by telling the software that it's connected to an ICOM IC-7000.? Using the CAT/USB cable that comes with the X5105.? And I think I've read that WSJT-X can control the X5105 that way too.
There are utility programs for programming radios like my IC-706MkII that use the same protocol (CI-V) as the X5105.? So one of them might work.? One I've used is called "ic706mm.exe" " IC706 Memory Manager " by David Whitty. G4FEV May 1999."? There's a web page about the program, with full instructions, but I have it saved on my computer and don't have its URL handy.
There's also "VK4ADC's web - Icom Memories Manager.html", which I've also saved, but haven't tried (even with the IC-706).? It's at
And there are a few others that google can find.
I'm not currently in a position to try any of these with the X5105, but I do hope someone else can - and will!
If you do, please give a good report of your results, whether the software works, and even if not.
