IMPORTANT :

The set commands CI-V for Icom IC706 has some limitations that are listed below:
  1. It is not possible to read or to write memory names.
  2. It is not possible to read or to write the subtone value.
  3. It is not possible to read the setting of the DUP (this limit is overcome using the PTT function from version 3.60 of the program onwards).

Many functions are available only for the IC-706MKII /G and don't work on the IC-706 or the IC706MKII.

These limitations are hardware and not resolvable by computer software.

 

The program I'm proposing interfaces the Icom models 706, 706MKII, 706MKII/G and IC718 transceivers to a personal computer. To do this it employs the CI-V socket located on the rear of the Icom RTX and a small interface that converts the TTL data to RS232 on a PC serial port. The program works in Windows 2000/XP/Vista environment (tested also on Linux Ubuntu 7.04 with installed the Wine api's www.winehq.com ) and may be configured for serial ports COM1 to COM9. The control set executed through a CI-V interface is quite limited so to get over this limit, in some cases the program will carry out more than one operation in sequence.
