Radio forced to RTTY-R

Good Day:
I searched for a possible solution but didn't find one.
I am using WSJT-X ver 2.4.0
OmniRig ver 1.19
Log4OM ver 2.14.1.0
Windows 10

WSJT-X is set to DXSuite
Log4OM is set to OmniRIg
OmniRig is set to work with an Icom IC-7300

If I setup the three software as above the radio mode is forced to RTTY-R during transmit.
If I manually set the radio mode to USB-D, on the next transmit it is set back to RTTY-R.
The only way I can use the three together and not have the radio forced to RTTY-R is to not use OmniRig.

Thoughts?

Thanks
Steve

Yes, I can edit the OmniRig.ini here is what it is set to:
[RIG1]
RigType=IC-7300
Port=1
BaudRate=8
DataBits=3
Parity=0
StopBits=0
RtsMode=0
DtrMode=1
PollMs=500
TimeoutMs=4000
[RIG2]
RigType=NONE
Port=1
BaudRate=6
DataBits=3
Parity=0
StopBits=0
RtsMode=1
DtrMode=1
PollMs=500
TimeoutMs=4000

What should I change to make it not select RTTY-R?

Thanks for the help!

Steve,

Those are the settings for baud rate and such. That is not the "ini" file with the inside details for all the modes, etc..

Assuming you did a normal installation for Omnirig you should find the "ini" files for the rigs at: C:/ProgramFiles(x86)/Afreet/Omnirigs/Rigs

Then scroll down to find the IC-7300.ini file that you can edit. I would make a copy of that file and slightly re-name it to something like: IC-7300_no9b.ini Once you edit the file and save it back in the same directory with the new name you can then choose it from the Omnirig selector.

In my 'rig' directory I see there is also an IC-7300-DATA.ini file. You could possibly give that file a try first and see if anything changes with respect to the RTTY.

I use a K3 and had to modify my ini file many years ago. I had some help directing me which elements to change, but I alwasy had a backup just in case.

As for the Icom rigs ... they are a special breed and I cannot help you with the coding inside the ini file to adjust. Maybe reach out to Rob - HB9ETR as he might have more insight with respect to that portion of effort.

Below is a screen clip of where my rig.ini files are located. It also shows a few of the related Icom 7300 file names. My PC has a 64-bit o/s thus the location noted. 32-bit o/s uses a slightly different location.

I don't have an IC=7300 but did look at the .ini file.
I would suggest trying to transpose the data in the SET MODE section for these 2 variables

[pmDIG_U]
Command=FEFE94E0.06.08.FD
ReplyLength=13
Validate=FEFE94E00608FD.FEFEE094FBFD

[pmDIG_L]
Command=FEFE94E0.06.04.FD
ReplyLength=13
Validate=FEFE94E00604FD.FEFEE094FBFD.

perhaps just transposing the command part first, see if it helps
That's all I can suggest .... maybe someone with an IC-7300 might know the fix.

Thanks everyone for the help and the replies.
I will give them a try and report back.
I really appreciate the help!
Steve

P.S. KI5IO:
I didn't know there was another INI file so I am really glad you mentioned that along with the path!
