Hi All,
Need some help agn.
I just brought home an IC746PRO and I am having trouble getting it to talk to
Writelog. Here's what I done.
1. Installed the WMR Rigtalk USB to CI-V interface. After installing the
drivers it shows up in Device Manager as COM8.
2. Edited Writelog ini as follows:
[PORTS]
Commslot1=4
Commslot2=5
Commslot3=6
Commslot4=8
3. Launched Writelog and under Setup->Ports selected Rig Type as IC-746 Pro,
Baud Rate 1200 for Com8.
4. Through the rigs menu set rig baud rate to 1200, and CI-V address to 56h.
(These were the values listed in the Writelog Help file, however in this help
file there is no suggested setting for the IC-746Pro, just the IC-746.) What is
interesting is the rig type selection in under Setup->Ports, both models are
available, so I assuming there must be some difference in the way Writelog
communicates with these two models.
I looked through the Writlog archives and others have had this problem, but the
latest posting regarding this subject is almost three years old.
I have not verified that the Rigtalk and its cable are really good, but after I
send this I am going to see if I can get this rig to talk to Ham Radio Deluxe.
Also, I used to have a Kenwood TS570 setup on Com6 and some remnants of its
setting still appear in Writelog ini under [RIGS] and [PORTS] even though Com6
is no longer a selection under Setup->Ports. Just wondering if that might be
confusing Writelog in some way?
Any help would be appreciated.
