[Dxbase] CAT Control for the IC 7300

Tue Oct 17 08:07:20 EDT 2017

Greetings:
I'm having difficulty getting the IC 7300 to talk to DXBase properly? I
have the Radio 2 button fixed and I can get DXBase to read Frequency / Mode
when I type in a call. However, it won't change Frequency / Mode when I
click on a spot.
Note, I have my USB port set to drive CW, and PTT. I also use the built in
CODEC for AFSK. Do I need to split CI-V and USB?
IC 7300 Setup
CI-V Baud Rate = AUTO
CI-V USB Port = Link to Remote
CI-V USB Baud Rate = AUTO,
USB Send = RTS
USB Keying = CW
USB RTTY = Off
USB Serial Function = CI-V

DXBase Setup

Radio 1 Kenwood TS 2000, works fine

Radio 2 IC7300
Load Band Mode from HF Xcvr
Connect Radio 2
DTR, RTS, CTS are not checked
8, N, 1
Baud Rate 19200, if I change the baud rate I can no longer read the 7300's
VFO.

One caveat, CAT control seems to work with WSJT and N1MM. However I do need
to change CI-V USB Port to Link from Remote when running N1MM.

I understand the Band Map needs to be changed even though I Load Band Mode
from HF Xcvr.
