Hi--

Thanks for the heads-up and the documentation.

If there is any feature that doesn't work with the 705 using other drivers, we will make one specifically for it. However, that is rarely necessary. Let me know which driver works and we will add the 705 to the menu. I already added the address to my master copy. It will show up the next time there is an update.

Enjoy the new rig!

The easiest thing to do would probably be just to try it. If Split works, you are are probably good on all other counts.

Hi Dennis,
Is it possible to associate the radio description to the frequencies visible in the Logic main window?
To do this, right-click on the frequency field with the right mouse button.
However, this only works if you have at most four RTXs connected.
I have six and can't see what the frequencies correspond to.
Thanks for the attention.

Got the 705 a day ago and haven't had much time to play with it yet but have tried several drivers with no luck.

Mauro, hope your enjoying the 705 !! Its a nice little rig ! I tried driver 16 but I get a com port error. See attached.
I also set baud rate to 115200, stop bits to 2. I am up to COM Port 29 so wonder if LOGic has a limit on ports numbered that high.

Dennis, Thanks for looking into a non-legacy driver !!

Thanks Mauro !!

Hope you are well !! I had mine set-up the same including the correct Icom Port A (CI-V) except I had Echo Back set to OFF as all my other Icoms (7300, 7610 and 9700) have it set to OFF. I changed it to ON and Driver #16 still did not work for me and gave me the same errors I posted.

I then thought to try again one of the non-legacy drivers this time with Echo Back set to ON and the following drivers worked;

Driver #40 Icom Basic for rigs that don't have Split Control)
Driver #47 Icom Basic for rigs that have Split Control)
Driver #50 Icom 7600 firmware v1.11 or later, 7610 Reads Split Status
Driver #51 Icom with VFO A/B and filter Control, Dual

All seem to work but I have not tried all the functions in each driver as yet. Split works, swapping VFO's works, and of course it reads the freq and I can change freq from the mouse or the rig and LOGic follows.

Thanks Mauro for mentioning Echo Back as I never would have thought to try it set to ON !!

Dennis the 705 doesn't have Dual Watch but it does have filters (W,M,N), having a 705 specific driver like #51 without Dual Watch seems like a winner. I haven't played with polling or the IQ setting as yet but will do that this weekend. Is there any way to incorporate a VFO/MEM toggle in the driver ?? I sometimes use the 705 in Memory Mode and would be nice to change that feature from within LOGic.

73 All !!!

PS: I think Mauro was asking to add the rig description, I second the request if possible. See attached pic, Mauro is this what you were thinking ??

I don't see why I can't add buttons 5 - 8 on the log form.

In the meantime, if you hover the mouse over the green FREQ display in the rig control toolbar, it will show the rig description. Get the new 9.21.1

Someone suggested putting a label in the control panel in an unused area. However, some control panels do not have any blank area. And the ones that do, we have no control over where the items in the control panel show up (just the order of the controls), so if we added one it may well not show up in an existing blank area.

There is a 705-specific driver in 9.21.2. It is sort of beta, but if you want to try it....
