[Dx4win] Can not get DX spots to talk to radio

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

I don't know if this will help at all, but I put a copy of the Rig file 
I'm using up my website at https://k2dbk.com/ICOM%207600_K2DBK.rig. You 
can also just go to https://k2dbk.com and scroll down to where it says 
"K2DBK's 7600 rig file for DX4Win". I will be honest, I modified it from 
ON4AOI's original and I can't remember specially what change I made or 
why, but I know that it works for me in the current state. Maybe give it 
a shot and see if it helps?

I would also suggest that you install the USB driver since that's what 
Icom recommends and I don't know what happens if you don't. Be sure to 
take a system restore point before you do in case of any issues. Here's 
a link to how to do that for Windows 7: 
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17127/windows-back-up-restore

Finally, I will mention that I'm running Windows 10, but I'm not sure if 
that is a factor here.
