Hi All,

I'm not sure what I did, but now Commander, DXKeeper, and WinWabbler all show a funky format for the frequency.

So now:
3.925.00
Becomes:
392,500.00

It was working fine, then I was playing with some settings and can't figure out what I did to change this since this was an unintended change.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

1. What make and model transceiver are you using?

2. With what settings were you playing?

3. Did you save a Workspace containing your settings before you began playing with your settings?

Hi Dave,
This is an Icom IC-775DSP.

I was just getting WinWabbler setup for the first time, so if I recall, most of my change were there. I could not get Commander or WinWabbler to transmit, so I made a change on the radio too.
Changed CI-V Transceive to Off
Changed CI-V 731 (operating frequency data length) from 5 bits to 4 bits - I did this per an old post to to get DXlab to transmit through the cv-i cable

I changed my CI-V 731 back and that seems to have fixed my display problem. Now to get WinWabbler to transmit.

And of course I didn't make a backup, lol! First lesson of computers. I'll make a backup before I change anything else.

Hi Scott,

CI-V IC-731 mode is archaic and was only needed when the old IC-731 was used on the same CI-V bus as a more modern Icom. The IC-31 used a different frequency format in CAT commands with a different resolution. These days almost all CI-V CAT control is done over a one-to-one CI-V connection so the IC-731 mode is never needed.

+ The radio's "emulate an IC-731" setting causes it to report frequencies in a different format: 4 bytes instead of 5 bytes. If you configure the radio to emulate an IC-731, then you must configure Commander to control an IC-731; failure to do results in Commander display incorrect frequencies.

I did this per an old post to to get DXlab to transmit through the cv-i cable

+ You must have misread the "old post". The 4-byte frequency format is used by the IC-731 and IC-735; it has nothing to do with " getting DXlab to transmit through the cv-i cable"

I changed my CI-V 731 back and that seems to have fixed my display problem. Now to get WinWabbler to transmit.
