Tony,

That all sounds easy, but I have yet to make any of this work for me yet. I am new to the radio so I have not even figured out how to set the menu to auto tune...but I will find it. The radio is used and I just put it on the boat. I have made a couple of contacts, but not many, so I still don't know for sure that I have an excellent working system. There are so many variable between the radio and the computer program, it is hard to know if I have a problem with the radio, with the propagation of the frequency, or if I just do not have the computer program running. I will keep working on it. I will try what you have said and will keep plugging away at this. Thanks for the input.

Another thing I did was to set the CIV port baudrate to 19200 baud,
rather than the default "auto detect". I didn't have much luck with
auto detection with some software. Some software vendors also recommend
fixing the serial baud rate to the highest setting (which is 19200 for
the 7000). With the fixed baudrate, computer control has been flawless.

I'd also strongly recommend getting the manual and a coffee or tea and
just study the manual in detail. The IC-7000 has a LOT of options, and
the manual is an asset. It's fairly well written. Even now I discover
features I didn't know the radio had. :) Every minute spent studying
the manual is a minute well spent. Even better, have the manual and
radio nearby, so you can play with the settings as you read (but take
notes! :) ).

BTW, the "Tune on transmit" feature only works with the AH-4 tuner, if I
recall (again, refer to the manual).

Hello all,

I want to be able to connect my computer to my radio and have the computer change the frequencies. I also want to run RMS Express for e-mail via Winlink. I currently have the Signalink USB box.

When looking online it looks as if there are two different types of CAT cables available. Which one do I need and what is the difference between the two?

Thanks for the help.

I tried a hard CPU reset per p.25 of the manual but it did nothing.

It had been working perfectly not an hour before.

Hello all,

I am trying to work with RMS Express to send e-mail via my HAM radio. Has anyone got any experience with this? When sending e-mail, in what mode am I sending? How do I know what frequency to send? The info on this is not very good. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I use my IC-7000 with RMS Express. If you use the WINMOR mode (WINMOR
WL2K Session), you only need the same connections as you'd use for other
digital modes with a PC and a soundcard. RMS Express supports CAT,
works well with the IC-7000, and will automatically QSY to the frequency
you select. For PTT, my interface has 2 serial ports internally and I
use the RTS line of the second port for PTT, rather than CAT.

You also need the VOAProp (the ionospheric propagation prediction
software from the Voice of America) software installed, as RMS Express
uses that for HF path predictions (to calculate the best RMS to connect to).

If you use an AH-4, a tip is to configure the radio to auto-tune on PTT.

You need to configure your callsign into RMS Express. Can't remember if
there's any other settings that need to be tweaked, it's been a couple
of years since I did my initial installation.

To get started, compose a Winlink message. To keep things simple, send
it to your Internet email address, and when done post it to the Outbox.
Click on the drop down list next to "Open Session" and select WINMOR
WL2K. Click on Open Session. This will open a couple of windows. Here
you need to configure your radio and soundcard parameters and set your
transmit levels. I use no more than 50% rated transmit power.

When all is setup, click on Channel Selection and select a station near
the top of the list - make sure it's on a band your antenna system can
use! (the list is ordered with the most likely paths at the top). If
you have setup CAT, the radio will now be on the correct frequency,
otherwise you will have to manually tune to the DIAL frequency on USB.
Click on the Start menu link to start your session. If all goes well,
your message will be sent and you'll receive it on the Internet (and
you've created your Winlink mailbox).
