Subject: [Dxbase] CAT Control for the IC 7300
Message-ID: <71EBA101886C4ACC9154F4FA584860C5@Needlefish>

Greetings:

I'm having difficulty getting the IC 7300 to talk to DXBase properly?  I
have the Radio 2 button fixed and I can get DXBase to read Frequency / Mode
when I type in a call.  However, it won't change Frequency / Mode when I
click on a spot.

Note, I have my USB port set to drive CW, and PTT.  I also use the built in
CODEC for AFSK.  Do I need to split CI-V and USB?

IC 7300 Setup

CI-V Baud Rate = AUTO

CI-V USB Port = Link to Remote

CI-V USB Baud Rate = AUTO,

USB Send = RTS

USB Keying = CW

USB RTTY = Off

USB Serial Function = CI-V

 

DXBase Setup

 

Radio 1 Kenwood TS 2000, works fine

 

Radio 2 IC7300

Load Band Mode from HF Xcvr

Connect Radio 2

DTR, RTS, CTS are not checked

8, N, 1

Baud Rate 19200, if I change the baud rate I can no longer read the 7300's
VFO.

 

One caveat, CAT control seems to work with WSJT and N1MM.  However I do need
to change CI-V USB Port to Link from Remote when running N1MM.

 

I understand the Band Map needs to be changed even though I Load Band Mode
from HF Xcvr.

Hello,
I think this problem has been talked about before, but I can't find a solution in the archives.
When I start DXbase 2007 it will not open up. It shows an icon in the bar at the bottom of the screen. If I click on that icon, it will not open. I deleted the dxb2007.ini file and started dxbase but that did not fix it. I uninstalled dxbase and reinstalled it and that did not fix it either. I am using using windows 10 and every thing has worked fine for a long time.? 

Does anyone know how to fix this?
ThanksTom N4TL

Someone on this list sent me a message about the ICOM IC-7300 not having a receive only connector. I can't find the email now so I am sending this to the whole list.

DXengineering sells this option for the IC-7300.

INRAD RX7300 Receive Only Input Modification Kits allow you to add a receive antenna jack to the Icom IC-7300!

INRAD's easy to install plug-in modification requires no soldering and is effortlessly installed and easily reversible. RX7300 kits may also be used for the insertion of accessory items into the receiver chain on the IC-7300; like receive only band-pass filters, low-noise preamps and so on.

 Hello Everyone,

I was able to fix this problem by using the task manager. I started DXbase and it was on the bottom tray. Next I used CTRL-ALT-DEL and then clicked on the task manager. Next click the right arrow next to DXbase 2007. That will open up one line below. Right click on that DXbase 2007 and then click on bring to front or maximize. One of them worked, I don't remember which one I used.

Is DxBase installed in the "ROOT" directory or someplace else?
