Icom 7600

I am unable to set up WSPR so that it talks to my Icom 7600. I put “-c=122” and “–civaddr=122” in the handshake setup box and get the following error:

WSPR Version 2.11_r2263, by K1JT

Run date: Tue Jun 19 23:42:44 2012 UTC

rig_open: error = IO error

Error attempting to set rig frequency.

rigctl -m 363 -r COM14 -s 9600 -C data_bits=8 -C stop_bits=1 -C serial_handshake=None -c civaddr=122 F 7038600

This problem is keeping me from getting started.

I'm not the Icom expert, but I'll take a shot.  Looking at the ic7600
backend source code, the default address is 122 (0x7a hexadecimal).
Have you tried it without the -c|--civaddr parameter?

Please try your rigctl by adding -vvvvv before the F command.

BTW, it's either -c 122, either --civaddr=122, or either -C civaddr=122
(in latter case, notice the capitalized C). The best is to pass nothing
when the CI-V address is default, as Nate suggested.

Always!

Mike, you may also try to specify the serial port prefixed this way \\.\COM14

  rigctl -vvvvv -m 363 -r \\.\COM14 -s 9600 -C data_bits=8 -C stop_bits=1 -C serial_handshake=None  F 7038600

According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/115831 this is necessary
for COM ports larger than COM9. I'm going to roll a patch for Hamlib 1.2.15.2
relieving from that burdden.
