[Dx4win] DX4WIN and Icon IC PW-1 data clashes

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

Jim (et al),

Yes, Jim and I have exchanged email about the CI-V protocol and his efforts 
to tame the PW1. As I understand it, K9JM's (www.k9jm.com) device is a piece 
of hardware, running custom software developed by Jim, that breaks the CI-V 
bus into segments and isolates traffic to the PC, the radio, and the PW1 
amplifier as necessary. A neighboring ham has recently ordered one of Jim's 
CI-V Routers and has promised to let me run my CI-V tests against. If I 
encounter any issues (which I don't anticipate) I'll work with Jim to their 
resolution.

Otherwise, I plan to refresh my "Riding the CI-V Bus" articles with the 
results... and of course will post a message to the reflector.

I'm curious, is "Jim's CIV router" a piece of software that sits
between the hardware and DX4WIN?  Is it something that anyone can
install?  I wasn't clear from either description.

Maybe someone can write up an application note on how to use all four 
together:

- DX4WIN
- ICOM radio
- PW1 amplifier
- router software

I'll happily re-format it and post it on my DX4WIN support site.

Note that K8UT wrote up a long note about the ICOM protocol, see:

I don't know if Jim saw this beforehand.
