    IC-7300 rig control issue

    in Bugs - Archive

    I run an Icom IC-7300 with VarAC. Upon startup of the software, as well as upon every frequency change, my rig is always forced to RTTY-R. It should be in USB-D. Something is wrong. Apparently an incorrect command is being sent to the radio by the software. It should always start up and stay in USB-D. Of course I continue to operate fine with VarAC by manually switching my IC-7300 to USB-D but I should not have to do that.


    Best regards,


    Gary, K7EK

    In OmniRig choose "IC-7300-DATA"

    There is no IC-7300-DATA selection in the radio dropdown.

    @K7EK, Gary Please dowload the newest rig.ini files and copy them into your

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Afreet\OmniRig\Rigs folder. The dowload is here:

    http://www.dxatlas.com/Download.asp Look for "INI files for OmniRig". It would

    also be a good idea to update to the newest OmniRig version updated 2021-09-11.

    Thanks. I updated to the latest Omnirig and rig ini files and now everything works well. I had a very old version which did not support IC-7300 data.

    I had the same issue with the 7300. You might try a slower baud rate, and see if that fixes the issue. In my case, I did not have IC-7300-DATA selected (but my baud rate with the rig was already 9600.) Once I made the "7300-data" change, the mode change never happened again.

    My CI-V baud rate has always been 19200, with CI-V USB baud rate set to 115200. This setting works well with VarAC.
