Re: ci-v usb not working on w10 but works on w11
Thanks Danny, but I don't think these programs will work with USB to serial converter like FTDI.?
I downloaded the CI-V Scout and will give it a try later.

Ken,
Sounds like you’re being asked to provide the eye candy of a full pan adapter , which the IC7000 can’t easily provide and it’s not a SDR anyways . ? ?Best to maybe borrow one of the true SDR radios , like FlexRadio, Icom 7300 , 7610 , you could use one of the dongles, but their performance in an RF rich environment might be a real challenge. ? Stick with a much better SDR receiver connected to a good computer.. ? Hard to beat the large pan adapter of the FlexRadio for a public display connected to a 55 inch LED display, touch screen if you can swing it.?

Some have done this with an RTL-SDR dongle tied to the IF and HDSDR to display it, like here
You have so little time to make it happen, I would be looking to borrow somebody's IC-7300 or Flex Radio.

Re: ci-v usb not working on w10 but works on w11
DTR/RTS are not used in CI-V as it is a "one wire" physical layer. There is no hardware flow control at the radio.
I would manually set the baud rate on the radio to 9600 or 19200 rather than leave it set to Auto.
The default CI-V address should be 0x70.
It would be interesting to see what CI-C Scout or CI-V Test tell you.

Well, duplicated the port settings to Win10 from Win11 and still can't talk to the radio.?
I tried lowering the baud rate from 19.2 to 9600 and no change. Tried different protocols but the one that works on Win11 is 19.2K 8N1 DTR, RTS = Always ON
The only hardware difference between two computers is the Desktop is Intel and Laptop is AMD but that should not affect ports in any way...

Re: ci-v usb not working on w10 but works on w11
Hi Adam,
So the Win10 is a different machine right?
Go into Device Manager and note the COM port number in Win 11.
Then do the same on the Win10 machine.
I'll bet on Win10 that Windows gave the port a different number.
A serial device com number is assigned randomly so probably different on 2 different machines.

Just received the new ci-v/usb FTDI interface for the? Icom IC-7000 and works fine on Windows 11.?
Can't get it to communicate with the radio on Windows 10.
Serial port ids as FTDI.
Drivers updated, protocol set to 19.2k, 8n1 same as setup on Window 11 PC.?
Anyone experience the same problem?

ci-v/usb interface not working on W10 but ok on W11
Just purchased another ci-v/usb interface for my Laptop running Windows 10 but can't get it connect to Icom IC-7000. Works fine on the desktop PC running Windows 11.?
This interface uses the FTDI chip so shouldn't be a problem but I can't get it to communicate.?
- Device Manager identifies as FTDI
- radio and pc protocols are identical, 19.2K, 8N1.
-- there are no port conflicts?
-- is there something I'm missing.

Re: Lost modulation (audio) on FT8
Hi Stephen,
I run Linux as well (Mint 21 or Ubuntu 22.04) with my IC 7K / ; you must be very careful about checking your mixer settings, because sometimes for whatever reason, they change (i.e. using another application).? I use a startup script to force the correct audio device selections, and to fire up all the
applications that I use (I also have a kill script to ensure these apps are killed off if for some reason I get a hung system).? I have a separate USB Cable for CIV, and the RigBlaster keys the rig.
?
To make my life a bit easier, I set up a few uDev rules to map my devices to easy-to-remember names (I have two Yaesu HF Rigs, and I would bet things mixed up without these rules).?
?
In my configuration, I’m using the rear panel connection (ACC Socket) rather than VOX (and I use WSJTX or JTDX, coupled with FLrig, Grid Tracker / CQRlog (with Gridtracker pointing to my CloudLog instance).
?
73’蝉,
?
Glenn,
WA6BJQ
p.s. - happy to share my scripts (and welcome any feedback / corrections)

Perhaps this may be related to a prevous thread (or maybe not).
I have recently been migrating to Lnux OS and been very pleased to find WJTX and FLDIGI for Linux.
At first, both programs seemed to work quite nicely with my IC7000 and SignaLink. Settings are PTT = VOX and Radio = none.
Same setp also worked nicely (and continues to do so) with my Elecraft K3. However, now I have a problem with IC7000, but not with K3 -- so I think it has to be something on Radio.
WJTX and FLDIGI look like they are working OK -- FT8? waterfall and callsign signals are decoded OK. When I hit "tune" button, SignaLink and rig think they are energized (red TX lights go on on both SignaLink and IC7000), but no modulation. There is a short
blip on ALC and then zero. I have checked mic gain, power and VOX and they seem OK.
Only intervening event I can recall was one episode on 6 meter SSB selected from mic keys. FT8 and PSK31 frequencies on IC7000? are from memories. As mentioned, switching to K3 with same SignaLink
and program/computer works fine.
Is there some change in IC7000 settings that would still exert VOX (PTT) but lose modulation?
TNX for help and toleration of what must be a dumb mistake.

Re: CW filter passband width
Thanks to all that responded. I've left the 500 and 250 hz filters as is but reprogramed the 1,300hz filter that I never use on CW to 100hz.? I've used 100 and 50hz on the K3 and find these narrow filters to be very useful in heavy QRN, QRM, and QSB situations, especially on 80 and 160m.

Re: No audio, no transmit after programming IC-7000
With Icom radios?? I have seen a statement from Yaesu that CHIRP will invalidate their warranty.? CHIRP also warns about many of the Chinese radios because they update their firmware without notice.? It is bad programming practice to allow some sequence of instructions to actually destroy your radio.? The admission from Yaesu seems embarrassing.? I haven't seen an issue with Icom that couldn't be solved with a full reset.

Re: No audio, no transmit after programming IC-7000
I have seen 2 ft-991a bricked with CHIRP...I have seen a ft-857d AND ft897d? both bricked along with a vx-6r..and 2 or 3 baofangs..they do warn you of this being a possibility at the start of the program..

Re: CW filter passband width
While you _can_ reduce the CW filter width to 50 Hz, you'll find that it's probably too narrow to be of practical use.
Because of the on/off transitions, a CW signal _carrying information_ (that is, with dits?and dahs) has a non-zero bandwidth.? Since the leading and trailing edges of each transition are quite important to human ears, that bandwidth is around 100 Hz.??
You'll find out, for yourself, what's the minimum bandwidth you can actually use.
