[ICOM] IC-7600 interfaced to SteppIR and Logging program

[Adam Farson]

Hi Bill,

You would connect the IC-7600 to your computer via a USB cable, and plug the
SteppIR controller in to the IC-7600 via the CI-V (Remote) jack. 

The Icom USB driver is required for the USB connection. It is downloadable
from the Icom Japan site.

Cheers for now, 73,

I'm new to Icom radios but old to SteppIR.  I've used the SteppIR controller
with the Yaesu FT-2000 and the Flex-3000.  I've used a "Y" cable to allow
the FT-2000 and my logging program to simultaneously read the band and
frequency output to track the radio.  I've done the same thing with my
Flex-3000 using the DDUtil software designed for this purpose.

 

The SteppIR web site states that a "Y" cable is not necessary for the
SteppIR and a logging program to simultaneously track an Icom radio.  I am
about to get an IC-7600 and can't see how this would work without some sort
of "Y" cable.

 

Does anyone on the list have experience interfacing the IC-7600, SteppIR and
logging program as I have described?  I use ACLog for logging.

 

Any help to this Icom "newbie" would be appreciated.

 

73,

 

Bill
