You will now have to run a program called "adjust.exe". Once you have programmed your radio you now have to tune it. Now program in the frequencies you want to use. Please note, the low-split (400-430 MHz) version only goes up to approximately 455 MHz. Use this program to determine the range you want to use with this radio. Using the program csf300.exe program your frequencies. I DO NOT PROVIDE THIS SOFTWARE! It is available on the 'Net'.

You will also need a copy of ICOM Software CSF300 that you can use to program the frequencies and adjust the radio receiver. To adjust the radio in software you will need the following cable: OPC478+OPC592 The OPC592 is a special jumper cable that goes on the end of the OPC478 and connects to the mic jack of the F420. Just to make sure, change to your lowest operating frequency and make sure your radio still oscillates. You may have to make a few tranmissions adjusting slowly until you get the vco to lock. Then transmit at the highest frquency and adjust the tx vco for no more than 7.75 volts. Increasing the slug brings the lock voltage down. Adust to the highest frequency that you wish to tune and set it to just less than 7.75 volts with a high impedence voltmeter. Then locate a point marked "cp1" just to the left of that can. The Rx Vco is at the top away from you and the Tx Vco is below that. Locate the Tx and Rx VCOs, they are on the left side of a rectangular metal piece. Open the bottom of the radio and place the front of the radio towards you. There is a hardware change and a software change. The radio is capable up operating at higher frequencies for a maximum bandwidth of 30 MHz. There you can also setup CAT for PTT.This radio is a 440 MHz workhorse supplied in the 400-430 MHz Range.
Thank you very much! – The information in this article comes fromĪnother good solution ist the Soundmodem from UZ7HO. Now you can use your ICOM IC-705 for APRS with Dire Wolf and PinPoint APRS

In addition to the export lines in the user guide, the following line updates the Cygwin bash PATH environment variable to provide access to the hamlib files:Įxport PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/hamlib-w64-4.2/include/:/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/hamlib-w64-4.2/lib/gccĪfter building, testing, and creating a zip file, copy the zip file to the desktop and decompress it.Ĭp ~/direwolf/build/direwolf*.zip /cygdrive/c/Users/LUSER/Desktop/direwolfįrom there, configure the Dire Wolf to use hamlib and the IC-705 Note that in the User Guide, the package bin-utils should be binutils and that the line cd buile should be cd build. I selected what looks like the latest stable versions. Search for and add each of the additional packages and select the version to install. Go to section 4.6 in the User Guide and follow the directions for installing cygwin.
Alternatively, you can copy the dlls to the same directory where direwolf.exe will be after the steps below.Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\hamlib-w64-4.2\bin

Do a search for windows 10 modify path if you don’t know how to do that. In my case, hamlib installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\hamlib-w64-4.2Īdd the hamlib bin directory to the PATH environment variable so that direwolf.exe can find it. With the steps below you can compile Dire Wolf with hamlib support for Windows.ĭownload hamlib for windows. On Linux, Dire Wolf can be compiled to include hamlib support, which support PTT on the ICOM radios.

An app called CAT7200 can act as the middleman between CAT and CI-V controls, but it requires installing virtual COM port drivers that need to have some security stuff disabled. Several software packages support CAT controls, but not the Icom CI-V controls, which makes using them on the Icom challenging. When trying to use Dire Wolf with the ICOM IC-705 on Windows, PTT doesn’t work. May 2021 in General by Karl-Heinz Krawczyk
