TCI problem with SSB Macro (SSB TCI macro from Expert work fine)

About "SSB Macros via TCI" - this is in the plans. I need to get information from the developers of ExpertSDR.

IC-7600 CATHX problem if (SETFreqA)

I read letter from you, but I still did not understand: log itself does not use VFOB for split.

OK we will wait....for now we will use "RadioMacros" from ExpertSDR

I read letter from you, but I still did not understand: log itself does not use VFOB for split.

OK, here you can find my two videos

First video with SunSDR2DX via TCI al work fine, split operation and frequency correct in the log.

Second video with ICOM IC-7600 + CatHX Interface (WRONG FREQUENCY in split operation)

https://www.xdenews.net/managers/files/2.mp4

I hope this video help you for understand the problem.

ICOM IC-7600

Many thanks for video! Now problem is clear for me.
Here is problem with ini-file for IC-7600.
LogHX have 3 INI-files for IC-600
IC-7600.ini
IC-7600v2-DATA.ini
IC-7600v2.ini
What file do you use? I think - file IC-7600.ini is wrong.

OK, I use IC7600v2.ini

Thanks.

OK, I use IC7600v2.ini

Is now Ok?
If you use IC7600v2.ini:
may be need delete [INIT1] section!

[INIT1]
;Turn CI-V transceive OFF

No....IC-7600v2.ini NOT work correct.

Yes, I just delete INIT1, this is old problem.

No I investigate....try also IC7600 and IC7600-DATA,
but all the tree file have the same problem.

I will make some modify, but I don not understand about CAT command in the INI file.

Anyway correct file was IC-7600v2 because I have v2 firmware in the radio.

Well, I find a solution.
after some test and mods on the original file ini, I have solved the problem deleting
[STATUS 10] from the file.


; - Removed pmVfoA and pmVfoB when both pmFreqA and pmFreqB are available.

;[STATUS10]
;Command=FEFE7AE0.07D2.FD

;Validate=FEFE7AE007D2FD.FEFEE07A.07D2.00.FD

Now all work correct, ISO qso and SPLIT qso will be stored in the log,
with the correct RX Freq. and also correct TX Freq.

This is my personal file.

If anyone else owns an IC-7600 please test it, and report any malfunctions to me.
For me everything seems to be working fine now.

Changing radio



Hi Alexei,

How easy would it be to place a button on the log input screen to change radio from Radio 1 to radio 2? Perhaps a Button that says R1 or R2 that can be toggled?

It would be much quicker and easier to change radios on the fly with a simple click instead of having to go into the menu to do it.

Thanks.

Hi Jim, to do this I found it convenient to use a HotKey (IdKeys900 - Change Active Radio),
but it would actually be useful to have a button, and perhaps also add the change of the relevant BandMap
Then Switch between Radio 1 and Radio 2 and Switch between BandMap1 and BandMap2.
We hope that Alexey finds this request useful and easy to apply.

Thank you Andrea, I will look into that. Need to work out how I make that work.

Do I literally put "IdKeys900" in the window next to the hotkey that I want to use?

it's OK, I've sussed it now! Better than navigating to a button to be honest, now using Numpad and .

[IK2XDE]

Menu -> HELP -> Hot Key's
Than score and find IdKey900 that will be "Change Active Radio"

In the HotKeys field put key that you prefer.
Be careful that the key combination is not already used by another function.

Well, I think - it's good idea: allow user to choose -auto-switch Bandmap1 to Bandmap2 when Radio switching (will be one Bandmap) or two Bandmaps for each Radio.

Any way to increase the "capacity" or store of DX spots?

During busy contests, spots are disappearing from the list in less than 10 minutes, even if the life has been set to 120 minutes.

Been looking for a setting to change but can't find it.

[RX4HX]

Any way to increase the "capacity" or store of DX spots?

Use SpotMachine filter -
for country




or another filter.

[IK2XDE]

Here's a little request for future changes

Send spot via telnet --> Insert macros in info
Please add [submode] field

Thank you.

In this regard, I think that in a very busy contest like a CQ WW the time limit to use is 20 minutes,
no more, 120 minutes is too much...we're talking about thousands of spots per minute.

But anyway what is the real limit set in loghx...??
Is there a maximum number or not..??
