Hi:
?
Thank you for everyone's volunteer work for flrig/fldigi.
?
Have been looking for CAT/CI-V support of the ICOM ID-5100 - it does not seem to be directly supported yet in flrig/fldigi - wondering how I can help or suggestions? . Investigation so far:
flrig using ID-7100 (and changing the ID-5100's CI-V Address to 88h) allows some functionality. (The ID-7100 seemed to be similar generation since it is 88h while ID-5100 is 8Ch). (the CI-V addresses seem to increment when each new model is introduces)
The available CI-V command numbers seem to vary quite a bit per Icom radio model.
?
Some of the commands appear to be the same between ID-5100 and IC-7100:
Works for ID-5100:
SMETER (15 02) and it displays correctly in flrig
PWRLEVEL (14 0A) sets and reads correctly
SETFREQ
SQL (14 03)
?
Yet others do Not work for ID-5100:
PWRMETER (15 11) seems to be same command, but the the power meter graph does not display anything.
A/B switching control ID-5100: 07 D0 and 07 D1? versus ID-7100: 07 00 and 07 01
?
Is it better to start modifying an XML file? ? (VFO A/B not in the IC-7100 XML file) or does one really need to dive into a rig CXX source file? (SelectA, SelectB)
Appreciate any suggestions.
?
thanks, kiwin
