Transceiver interface: not working with Icom protocol after 5.94 upate

[EA3GCV]

Hi Fulvio,

I haven't modified anything in the Icom module! In fact I have just tested version 5.94 directly with my Icom 756 Pro 3 and works perfectly. All Icoms work the same to read/write QRG/Mode (IC-7800 series has new PSK modes that I added some versions ago). Please review again all COM port settings. Remember that the TX address shown in Swisslog is in decimal format (not hexadecimal). Normally if you have checked the "Scan for TX-Address" Swisslog will read well the Hex Address and make the proper conversion. However you can force it by setting the value to 142 (8E hex address for IC-7850).

Regarding OmniRig you are probably using a wrong setting. I detected this behaviour 2 weeks ago using a IC-7851 with OmniRig in a friend of mine shack. Please download the latest INI OmniRig files here:

Unzip and copy them to the Rigs folder where OmniRig is installed. Now you will have available the IC-7851 in the transceiver list with the right settings.

The communication between Swisslog and OmniRig is exactly the same for all transceivers. OmniRig handle all communications to/from the transceiver directly and sends/receive the info with other software with an specific interface. Try to check with another software which uses OmniRig (such as MixW, WSJT-X or JT65-HF HB9HQX Edition) for your TS-590. It should have the same behaviour than in Swisslog. Remember to set the POLL value to 100ms in the OmniRig settings for a continuous reading. You should also force the execution of OmniRig as administrator (it's installed in Program Files(x86)\Afreet\OmniRig) if using Windows Vista and higher. Right click on the OMNIRIG.EXE, select Properties and check the Run as administrator in the Compatibility tab.
