Comments from K6JJ for the ICOM IC-756 Pro.ini file, version 29 MAY 05:
|
|
|
|
1. This rig does not support the function to turn the CI-V Transceive mode on and off, which apparently
|
|
the IC-756 Pro II can do. I found no difference in the operation of Omni-Rig Client (the .ini testing
|
|
program) or Band Master with the mode on or off. However, when using the IC-756 Pro with a rig control
|
|
program such as TRX-Manager, I had to turn this mode on or changes made at the rig would not show
|
|
up in the software program display. Depending upon your station configuration, you may find the need
|
|
to manually adjust this function to on or off in the rig set/others menu.
|
|
|
|
2. The IC-756 Pro has a smaller set of commands when compared to the IC-756 Pro II command set. Thus,
|
|
certain commands that Omni-Rig supports are not supported by the IC-756 Pro.
|
|
|
|
3. The commands for setting and reading the CW Pitch Frequency were copied from the IC-756 Pro II.ini file.
|
|
They seem to work when changes were made to them so that the IC-756 Pro would recognize the control codes,
|
|
but they seem to need some refinement, as mentioned in the .ini file remarks for both rigs.
|
|
|
|
4. When using the Band Master program, the following mode conversions apply:
|
|
|
|
Band Master Mode IC-756 Pro Mode
|
|
CW-U CW
|
|
CW-L CW-R
|
|
USB USB
|
|
LSB LSB
|
|
DIG-U RTTY
|
|
DIG-L RTTY-R
|
|
AM AM
|
|
FM FM
|
|
|
|
Selecting the wanted Band Master mode will set-up the IC-756 Pro for the corresponding mode.
|
|
|
|
5. When using the Band Master program, the following function buttons do not operate with the IC-756 Pro,
|
|
and are grayed out:
|
|
|
|
SPLIT (see #6 below)
|
|
RIT
|
|
XIT
|
|
|
|
6. The Band Master program TX offset button, when clicked, sets the IC-756 Pro to the Split mode and
|
|
sets the transmit VFO to the frequency of the receive VFO. No transmit frequency offset is added.
|
|
Double clicking this button makes the same change. To disable the Split mode, click on the band in-use
|
|
button.
|
|
|
|
7. If you can improve on the IC-756 Pro.ini file and/or these comments, please do so. I knew nothing
|
|
about the IC-756 Pro rig control functions, Omni-Rig and Band Master, when I started to develop the .ini
|
|
file. I appreciated having the IC-756 Pro II.ini file already developed, which aided me greatly. I also
|
|
appreciate the Omni-Rig concept.
