Icom ci-v software

I have also used this interface to program my Yaesu FT50R. Only a change of connector to a 4 pole minijack plug was required. Probably the interface can be used with other HTs, although I have not tried it. Many of these use counterfeit Prolific PL chips. When Prolific discovered this, they amended their drivers to detect counterfeits. If more than one rig is connected to the converter, syncing between the two rigs is still possible.

The converter acts as a hub, i. Some converter designs allow to switch on and off the ports individually. Due to the single-wire bus design, collisions can occur when two rigs or a rig and the computer transmit data at the same time. The protocol offers some limited means to detect and handle collsions. The CI-V protocol uses single-byte adresses to adress individual rigs on the line. Each model has it's own default adress.

If two or more rigs of the same model are connected to the bus, the adresses have to be changed so that each rig has an individual adress. What is this? So in most circumstances you will have CI-V Transceive set to on, at least as long as there is only one rig connected to a PC. If more than one rig is connected over the same interface converter to a PC, it might be useful to turn this option off in all but one rig. Please note that some logging programs require you to turn off the CI-V Transceive function, check the documentation of the software.

I am in no way connected to any of these products except of course the ones I wrote myself :- If you have any additions or corrections to this list please let me know, please send an e-mail, see 'Impressum' Imprint for contact details.

This program is not intended to convienently control your rig, just explore the functions of CI-V. Warning: This software is heavily outdated. I leave it here because I get mails from time to time that some people find it useful. I do not have the sources to this simple program anymore and cannot make any changes. The data can be sorted by clicking on any column, or reverse sorted by reclicking. You can also select by language and if the station is broadcasting now.

You create this data yourself, and can use almost any data you wish. You use the program by clicking a station in the file to tune your radio to the station or net, or scan the list looking for nets that are on the air. The columns can be sorted. Left click will turn counter clockwise, and right click will turn clockwise.

Make sure you radio is set to the same baud rate you choose. I have not implemented repeater or TSQL functions yet. If a button is active, the cursor will change in most cases to a cross. For the cases with an inner and outer knob, inner will be a cross and outer will be an up arrow.

Since Icom didnt allow software control for every feature, not all buttons or knobs are active. The CALL button is a bit weird since there is no direct software command. I anticipate tweaking how that guy works. If no compatible radio is available, the logging features may be used without a radio connected. Extensive contesting features are included for many international contests. A direct descendent of CI-V Explorer, this program retains it's predecessor's diagnostic capabilities.

CI-V Commander is free, and contains no advertising; commercial use is expressly forbidden. The signal is averaged and can be shown over a period of time. You need a radio with a CI-V interface port. You can set the frequency and mode, and store memories.
