NO CAT Control IC-7000 using Winlink
Winlink Express works fine with my IC-7000. Check the Icom, not the early models. The frequency format is different. Make sure the CI-V address is the same in the radio and in the Winlink setup - by t

new CT-17 CI-V hub design
Hi, Richard! Does your new CI-V hub support independent bit rates per port? Does it provide buffering to prevent collisions? Does it provide traffic decongestion – for example, if the transmitter send

You are aware that Icom changed the frequency format when their radios addressed frequencies over 1GHz. There's an extra byte (two hex digits) in the newer radios. I've looked at source code for a PIC

IC 7000 and spectrum display
There is no IF output on the IC-7000 and adding one requires some surgery. Another way to do it is to get an SDRPLAY or equivalent that can handle HF frequencies (or pair it with an upconverter). Conn

Tune button
I am guessing here. Icom changed the PTT circuit at some point. The signal from the tuner to the radio needs to be a ground. In the past, it was a +12V. If you are using an older design tuner, it may

CI-V Problem
Are you using a UBS-to-serial adapter? If so, make sure that the COM port number hasn’t changed. If it has, change HRD or the assigned port so that they match. Windows may have updated the driver behi

HM-151 and HM-154T at the Same Time
I used a similar arrangement to use a Heil ICM mic and the factory mic at the same time. In my case I made a short cable with modular 8 pin connectors on both ends but with the mic audio wire omitted.

CI-V comms error again
Do you have an actual CI-V/CAT (5v open collector) cable? A standard RS-232 (which is actually an RS-423 but that’s another story) cable will often have problem with the CI-V/CAT because it’s electric

Array Solutions has a limiter you can put inline that clamps the received voltage. Very little insertion loss otherwise. Designed for Field Day and similar applications, it sounds like it might solve

Don't know about the Subaru but some cars have an airbag under the dash cover. There is no discernible panel. The whole dash cover is pushed up and out of the way when the bag fires. That might be why
