[Dxbase] Fwd: EXTRA Info ---- Re: IC7300 CW-R

[Joseph Glockner]

 Fred and ALL,

I am sure HAPPY to read that your CW-R is working properly now.

Background:  The Radios.ini file is the hardest to deal with - because
there is no instruction manual for this file.  When I started playing around 
with and trying to make entries for the Radios.ini file, I ASSUMED
(Yep - you got it!!  Egg-on-face) !!  that any mode (like CW-R) for which
DXbase2007 did NOT have an equivalent MODE number for -- then
that (like CW-R mode) MODE would default back to a number that
DXbase2007 would recognize -- such as in this case I had called
CW-R = 3 -- which is the same MODE number as for CW..  BUT,
after working with Fred and asking him to replace the number 3 with the
number 7 -- AS ICOM calls it, Fred advised that the CW-R is now
functioning properly..  So, I have LEARNED a big thing today!!!!
I have modified my "master copy" of my Radios.ini file with the
needed modification.

If anyone else is running a RIG (no matter which one) that CAN NOT
log properly for a GIVEN MODE - pse let me know and I will check
whether that RIG's Radios.ini file need to be modified also..  Having
the RIG's CAT Manual is necessary  and  thank goodness, most 
of the CAT Manuals are on the internet for download.

TNX to Fred for his HELP!!!

Fred,


TRY this -- NOTE!!  Since I do not have an IC-7300 -- I am only

taking a guess on this fix ...


In the Radios.ini file for


[ICOM_IC-7300_SPLITOK]

CHANGE the following entry from
P_CWR=3

to read
P_CWR=7


THEN - CHANGE the following entry from


CWR=3


to read


CWR=7



THEN - CHANGE the following entry from


DefaultCWR=3


to read


DefaultCWR=7




Then SAVE your Radios.ini file and execute DXbase2007 again and
this time - try to log  CW-R


Fred --- In DXbase2007 Radios.ini file -- if the MODE is NOT part of what
DXbase was built-around .. We normally set that mode to ZERO ..
But, for the sake of CW versus CW-R -- ICOM has CW as a 3  and CW-R as a 7

And,. since DXbase2007 doesn't have a CW-R -- I am NOT too sure that
the above mentioned FIX will even work...

You might ask Neal for some assistance on this also!!
