![]() ![]() I am presuming readers are familiar with N1MM and MMTTY and have them installed. It is only available on a few select radios and the IC-7300/7610 are included. The Spectrum Display is relatively new and a lot of fun to use. N1MM Logger+ also has the Icom 7610 listed in rigs. With N1MM Logger+ we also get a nice Spectrum Display (waterfall) on the PC monitor. N1MM Logger, MMTTY, EXTFSK are the software programs for RTTY (FSK) being used with the Icom 7610. I will get a good quality dynamic mic to try out. The Icom 7610 LCD touch screen is outstanding. Noise blanker, noise Reduction and notch filtering are superb, the best I have seen.Īs a prerequisite, always install the Icom 7610 USB driver before connecting the USB cable. A few have said it sounds like my Icom 7300! I am using the same mics I used with the 7300, the Yamaha CM500 and the BM800. The TX audio quality is similar to the IC-7300. I’ve pulled out some pretty weak signals using the filtering and I’m very impressed with the RX. Operating digital modes, like FT8, is so quiet, I hardly know I’m transmitting. I have had the Icom 7610 for a little over a week now and WOW! What a quiet and smooth transceiver. I posted an article getting the 7300 running on RTTY (FSK) with MMTTY. I can’t say right now if the improvement in operating is substantial, but I love its smooth and quiet operation. Sliding the IC-7610 into its spot, the 7610 just took over where the 7300 left off. Let’s see what else is new! When I got the IC-7300, it was a real thrill to operate RTTY (FSK). We now have two virtual COM ports on the IC-7610. This command though, this would definitely be a special case as it allows for long arguments.The Icom 7610 N1MM configuration is simple and similar to the IC-7300. So I rather like the idea of supporting commands that we see in the wild. wfview’s rigctld server (thank you Phil!!!) is a more advanced method of control compared to the pseudo-term, because we can properly rate-limit traffic to the radio and cache recent results (recent being a few ms). Our implementation of rigctld is interesting, we’re trying to support common commands although there are many (such as thins one) that we hadn’t encountered yet. Your screenshot is good, this will be helpful to others trying to make this connection. Is sending CW via typing in CQRLog a fairly common thing people do? How does the experience compare to sending via fldigi’s modulated CW? This is very interesting indeed! I’m not a CW op (yet?), so let me see if I understand the mode of operation correctly: You send CQ (or other CW traffic) by sending the characters to the radio over CI-V, and then the radio keys the characters at the prescribed rate? Is this correct? I’m sorry to be so uninformed about it. No need for external keyers or any of that jazz for the 7300 and siblings. Just thought I would share these options for anyone trying to set computer keying up. A keyer-speed knob would be nice though! Thanks devs, this is fantastic software. Hopefully wfview’s rigctld will eventually get the option of sending cw, but this alternative works fine for now. In my view, keying CW should be the responsibility of the logger anyway, so this works fine. Note that “port number” there is for CQRLog’s version of rigctld, so can’t be the same as the rigctld port wfview is listening on. Settings here: Imgur: The magic of the Internet I am able to send CW on my IC-7300 with the following command: /usr/bin/rigctl -m 373 -r /home/pi/rig-pty1 b CQ However, it works fine if you use hamlib with wfview’s virtual serial port. Hamlib does this, but the "RigCtld emulation function of WFView does not appear to do this yet. This is good because it doesn’t rely on good timing by the computer, doesn’t tie up the serial port for more than a few milliseconds, and uses the rig’s keyer speed setting. FYI, CI-V on many radios permits sending CW with the rig’s keyer.
