Does this apply to the Icom 756Pro II also? I notice that 'narrow' and 'normal' are reversed from what actually is set in the transceiver. I looked to see if there was a way to relabel but didn't see a way to do that.
Just converting over from DXbase - lots to learn but a very nice piece of software. Thanks for all your efforts.

Welcome to DXLab, Mike!
There's no way to reverse the normal and wide codes at present, but
that's
been on my "to do" list for awhile.

I am using Commander to control my IC-781 radio on my local WiFi LAN. It works really well running on a WindowsXP machine directly connected to the 718 and being accessed remotely using screen sharing on my Apply iMac.
After installing W4RT's Collins filters in my 718 I learned that Icoms filter groups function applies to this radio or at least it does from MixW (user defined macro) and HRD (buit in HRD function).
As the filter pulldown on Commander only gives you two choices when the IC-718 is selected I went into the Radios file and made both Filter0=T and FilterGroups=T like this:
Now I do get the correct filter selections of Wide, Normal and Narrow but the Normal and Narrow functions are reversed. Wide gives me the 20kHz wide selection (no 455 kHz. filters used) not Normal gives me the 500 Hz. filter and Narrow gives me the 2.5 kHz. filter.
The correct command sequence is:
Narrow = Hex FE FE 5E E0 06 01 03 FD Normal = Hex FE FE 5E E0 06 01 02 FD Wide = Hex FE FE 5E E0 06 01 01 FD
Is there anyway that I can reverse the command bytes for Normal "02" and Narrow "03", that Commander is sending, so that the lables will match the filter selections?
