[Logic] Icom Multiple Rigs and CI-V - Update

Sun, 2 Nov 2003 18:43:39 -0500

OK I'm using 3 Icoms... 2 on a CT-17 on one on a W1GEE... Everything is
tickety-boo...
Here is what I would suggest...
Use 9600 baud 1 stop bit no parity... Don't use autobaud on the radio
Makes sure that the CI-V transceive option is enabled...
Make sure the IC731/735 option is disabled
Do not toggle RTS or DTR for the CT-17
Use ICOM775 driver for the first rig
Use the ICOM775_NOBUS driver for the second rig THIS IS IMPORTANT IF
USING 2 COM PORTS
Everything should now work...
You are not a dufus ;-) The Icom configuration is weird in Logic... But
I think Dennis just needs some feedback from Icom users... He can't
afford to buy all the rigs he supports ;-) Hang in, he is already
making some improvements...

>>> Hi Group,
>> Well its been awhile since I posted the first question on the 
> Icom polling problem, took all the responses and here is the result:
>> 1) Attempted to change baud rate on one of two radios (both 
> on radio and in LOGic), didn't work.
>> 2) Bought another CT-17, so had one CT-17 interface to the 
> 746Pro, the other to the 756Pro II, what a mess. After hours 
> of futzing around determined that with two CT-17 interfaces 
> one com port 4 and one com port 5 they act as if there is 
> only one. Confused the bejesus out of me since it would just 
> keep thinking that both rigs were on com port 4, regardless 
> of what com port I had the other interface on (yup, 
> double-checked the setup, etc, etc). Proved that when one was 
> disabled in logic, the other would work (did this with both, 
> so both work). Even thought I had the ports and cables and

>> So, unless I am really a dufus (which I could be, and if I am 
> please enjoy at my expense), this just isn't going to work. 
> I think I remember that someone was using a CT-17 and a W1GEE 
> interface cable, if so, please let me know.
>> Maybe I'm getting too wrapped-up in this polling thing, after

> frequency and mode.
>> Thanks to all.....
