Icom 7300 ,LOG4OM ,omnirig and WSJTX (FT 8 filter size)

Post by zs2pa »

Hi all!
Great piece of software to start with!
Just a weee small issue driving me nuts. Here is my setup Icom 7300 ,LOG4OM ,omnirig and WSJTX. All works 99 %.
Problem I have is when using WSJTX and the Filter on the rig is set to Filter 1 after my first TX it changes the filter to Filter 2.
It does this each time. I am not sure what is doing this!

Any ideas what to look for?
Regards ZS2PA ;)

At that point WSJT is controlling the radio and changing filter, only Joe Taylor can fix that.

However I set the filter width for filter 2 on my Icom to be the wide filter and filter 1 as a narrow filter and it fixed it for me.

Not perfect but a work around!

Hi Terry
It is not WSJTX that is causing the problem. I have tried this as a standalone program(wsjtx only). Have used it on HRD and works 100%. I am sure it is not LOG4OM! I feel it might be on OMNIRIG! Is there a way to specify using the 7300.ini file? Changing file parameters etc!

It is the command sent by WSJT to Omnirig that triggers the filter change, you can change/edit the filter command in the Omnirig 7300.ini file but then any other software using Omnirig will be incorrect.

Hi Andrew,

It depends upon the commands available for the IC-7300, which I am not familiar with. Can you check your 7300 manual to determine if there is a filter sub-command to the mode command for the 7300?

Also, which ini file are you using? OmniRig supplies a ic7300.ini and a ic7300-DATA.ini file.

Thanks,

Today I experienced the same problem that my 7300 switches to FIL 2 as soon Omnirig is used in WSJTx. Switching WSJTx back to Icom IC7300, the 7300 is correctly set to FIL 1.

I am using the latest versions of Omnirig and WSJTx.
This thread is started in 2018, does this mean this issue is still not solved?

Any latest suggestions how to fix this?

Terry ,
In Omnirig I did select7300DATA, this switches the 7300 to FIL 2 instead of FIL 1 like WSJTx does by default.
When I select Icom 7300 in Omnirig, the 7300 goes in RTTY mode. So I switched Omnirig back to the initial 7300DATA setting and get FIL 2 set by default again.
Do I need to edit the ini file?

Update:
According to the developer website, the latest version of Omnirig is 2.1 dated June 1 2020.
Looking at the date of the exe file inside the zip file is April 2019.
I uninstalled the initial version that I was running (1.19 according to the about).
Installing the “2.1 version” exe file and checking the About tab, it says it is version 1.19. Now I am lost
Does anyone know the latest version and a link where to download?
