[Dxbase] ICOM 746 or 746Pro

Mon Apr 26 00:56:13 EDT 2010

Tim and all:
I had mentioned to Ben (KB1FJ), who I had been helping with his
ICOM 746Pro problem, that Ben would send out the email telling
the DXbase Reflector what we found. But, since Tim has sent out
his email to the reflector, I will give everyone a short summary
of what we did to cure Ben's problem.
I, myself, do not own and have never used/seen a 746Pro -- but,
trying to help Ben - I thought I might be able to lend a hand.
I simply made a Radios.ini entry for the 746Pro -- so that when
the MODE is being set -- the FILTER (#1, #2, or #3) would be
FORCED to be the active one.. 
But - as it turned out, the SOLUTION to the problem was in the
User Options (Radio 1) setup .. the
STOP BITS should be set to 2
that was the actual cure!! Ben had it setup for STOP BITS = 1 ...
I see - reading the internet - that there are so many postings giving
many different setups for the ICOM rigs -- but, for the 746Pro - the
answer was stop bits = 2 
The Radios.ini file entries that I made for Ben - are not actually needed
now - but, he wanted to use them anyway.
