Try the following Make a copy of the original rigfile and rename it With a text editor change the following in the copied rigfile
>From [RF-Current VFO] CMD=Read VFO A FMT=BCD-R POS=6 LM=5 To [RF-Current VFO] CMD=Read VFO A FMT=BCD-R POS=7 LM=4 Look also @ the beginning of the file for these settings CNFL=6 RMUL= 1.00000000000000E-0001 WMUL= 1.00000000000000E+0000 Select now the changed file in dx4win and do some tests above 15 meter Hope this helps 73 Guy ON4AOI BAND DECODER and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/banddecoder.htm DX4WIN soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dx4win.htm DX4WIN, WRITELOG, WF1B & RITTY CW & RTTY interfaces at http://www.on4aoi.be/keyer.htm ARSWIN link and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/web7.htm DXTELNET soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dxt.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Stoneking Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 1:31 AM To: DX4win Reflector Subject: Re: [Dx4win] 756 ProIII and RigTalk USB interface More info. Using the File->Databases->Radios menu option I was able to see some of the information going back and forth between computer and radio. The first thing I had to do was change the Read multiplier from 1.0 to 0.01 to get the frequency to display correctly - sort of. This value seems to work for any frequency up to 21,474.83kHz. At 21,474.84 kHz the reported frequency is -21,474.83kHz and the number continues to go up (toward zero), at 42,949.67kHz the Edit Radio dialog box reports -0.00. As you increase the frequency from there the reported frequency goes back up (e.g. 42,949.68kHz is reported as 0.1). Here is a capture of the information at some of these frequencies: ICOM 756 Pro III Date = 03/22/06 Load Field: Mode; L=Other D=N Cmd: Read Mode Garbage skipped: FD FE FE 00 6E 00 30 48 47 21 00 FD Send: FE FE 00 E0 04 FD Echo: FE FE 00 E0 04 FD Received: FE FE E0 6E 04 01 02 Integer Read: Mode; V=1 Load Field: Current VFO; L=VFO A&B D=N Cmd: Read VFO A Send: FE FE 00 E0 03 FD Echo: FD FE FE 00 E0 03 Received: FD FE FE E0 6E 03 30 48 <--- The PRO III says the freq is 21,474.83kHz 47 21 00 Integer Read: Current VFO; V=21474830 <--- Dx4Win reported frequency is 21,474.83kHz Last error = 0 ICOM 756 Pro III Date = 03/22/06 Load Field: Mode; L=Other D=N Cmd: Read Mode Garbage skipped: FD FE FE 00 6E 00 40 48 47 21 00 FD Send: FE FE 00 E0 04 FD Echo: FE FE 00 E0 04 FD Received: FE FE E0 6E 04 01 02 Integer Read: Mode; V=1 Load Field: Current VFO; L=VFO A&B D=N Cmd: Read VFO A Send: FE FE 00 E0 03 FD Echo: FD FE FE 00 E0 03 Received: FD FE FE E0 6E 03 40 48 <--- Pro III reports freq as 21,474.84kHz 47 21 00 Integer Read: Current VFO; V=-21474833 <--- Dx4Win displays -21,474,83kHz Last error = 0 ICOM 756 Pro III Date = 03/22/06 Load Field: Mode; L=Other D=N Cmd: Read Mode Garbage skipped: FD Send: FE FE 00 E0 04 FD Echo: FE FE 00 E0 04 FD Received: FE FE E0 6E 04 01 02 Integer Read: Mode; V=1 Load Field: Current VFO; L=VFO A&B D=N Cmd: Read VFO A Send: FE FE 00 E0 03 FD Echo: FD FE FE 00 E0 03 Received: FD FE FE E0 6E 03 70 96 <--- Pro III reports freq as 42,949.67kHz 94 42 00 Integer Read: Current VFO; V=-3 <--- Dx4Win reports -3???
