Icom 7610 and CAT Mode Response
Posted: 15 Oct 2022, 18:04
I am using an Icom 7610 - Firmware: 1.3
The transceiver is configured as follows (Menu > Set > Connectors > CI-V):
CI-V Baud Rate: Auto
CI-V Address: 98h
CI-V Transceive: OFF
CI-V USB/LAN>REMOTE Transceive Address: 00h
CI-V Output (for ANT): OFF
CI-V USB Port: Unlink from [REMOTE]
CI-V USB Baud Rate: Auto
CI-V USB Echo Back: ON
I am trying to set up CAT in Log4OM 2 v.2.23.0.0
(NOT using other software such as FLDigi, WSJT, OmniRig, etc.)
I have successfully used CAT with my current logging software (XMLog and N3FJP). I am using the recommended Icom USB drivers and the same USB cable I use with that software.
After connecting to the 7610, Log4OM tracks the frequency and the band when I change them using the radio controls. I can also change the radio frequency and band from the Log4OM main window or the CAT Control Screen. If I change the Mode from the CAT Control Screen, the radio follows the command.
The problem is this:
When the radio controls are used to change the mode, the Log4OM Mode dropdown value does not change to reflect the radio setting. Log4OM launches with the mode indicating RTTY initially, but does not change when I change the radio mode directly.
The question is:
Is Log4OM supposed to reflect radio Mode changes the same way it tracks frequency and band?
I have included screen shots of the Log4OM CAT configuration. Computer details are at the end of this post.
I have searched the forum and read the manual for expected behavior. If I missed it, can someone point me to the appropriate information?
Radio responds to frequency changes from this main window. This window also reflects radio frequency and band changes. This window does not reflect mode changes from the radio.
The radio frequency, band and mode respond to this CAT Control. Log4OM main window also responds to this CAT Screen including the Mode. But, change the mode from the radio and neither window responds.
