CW spot changes mode to CW-R on IC-7600

Post by NN7D »

I know the band map or what controls the mode when clicking on a spot, has been covered here before, but have been unable to find it. When I click on a CW spot, the rig changes to CW-R mode, instead of CW. What file controls that mode, and or how can I get this changed so that the rig goes to CW mode?

Thanks,

Doug

It's the Omnirig ini file that you need to modify

Well, with a little research and roaming around, I found the IC-7600.ini file under the Program Files...\Afreet\OmniRig\Rigs folder and found what I think is an error in the file. Checking the 7600 manual, the command for CW mode should have ended with 03. The entry in the .ini file for lower sideband CW was set to 03, while the upper sideband CW line ended with 07, which is for CW-R according to the 7600 manual. I changed the upper sideband entry to match the lower sideband entry. The mode now works correctly for CW!

Thanks Terry. I think we posted at the same time. That is what I concluded.

I have the same problem. I found the file and where it needs to be changed but after making changes, it doesn't allow me to save the file saying I need the permission of the owner/administrator?

It's related to your windows security policy.
if you're not an administrator of the PC (or the current user is not an admin) you can't edit files in some "protected" folders of the PC

Try accessing with an user that is admin of the system to make the change
