IC706_BKT configuration page, and getting started

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 20:38:08 +0000

Good afternoon from snowy New Hampshire, USA.

Just getting started with IC706_BKT and so far have not been able to get it to work.

I need an Icom CT-17 or equivalent cable, right? I have the LCU3-I and OPC-478 cables and they don't work, so I assume I need to get a CT-17 equivalent cable, right?

Second question... how do I get back to the IC-706_BKT configuration page? When I first started it up it took me to the config page but since then it just takes me to the main page and I can't change the configuration. I assume there is something I click to take me to the configuration but I don't see it.

The defaults are 19200-8-N-1, RTS and DTR both ON. Is that the correct configuration to talk to the IC-706MKIIG?

Thanks...

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 17:16:09 +0000

Good evening. I just registered to this program for ic-706. I like some times to work remote from another pc on the same network. The software is connected to ic-706. What i need to do is to connect to remote pc to run the software and put on or off the radio but i cannot see any button in software.
Is anybody here tried to do this?
thank you.

Easy to make CI-V cable

Thu, 19 Dec 2019 06:53:21 +0000

You can add this to the list of home made Icom CI-V cables .
I just made this one and it worked. I used a different kind of $2 usb to ttl board because I had one ( silicon labs CP210x is what it says )
Here is schematic - only need a resistor and diode.

program startup

Thu, 26 Apr 2018 23:41:17 +0000

I have IC706_BKT running fine on my Windows 7 machine. But I cannot get the program to even startup on my old Windows XP machine. I get the message.... "IC706_BKT has encountered a problem and needs to close". I have XP SP3 installed, no virus, connected radio, serial COM1 @ 19,200 (8,2 bits) and com1 has no errors, I am using version 19.0.0 Any idea what I can do to get the program to start?
Thanks

PTT keying

Fri, 24 Nov 2017 05:07:09 +0000

I have the 706MK2G software installed and mainly working under windows 7. Unfortunately the PTT key function does not seem to work. My configuration is: COM1, 9600,8,1,N,RTS and DTS = OFF PTT is enabled on COM1 :RTS PTT key is CTRL. The Tune function works but neither pressing the CTRL nor clicking on the mic icon (although the red light glows on) seems to work. I have changed PTT and COM1 configurations using DTR, serial port modes and different com speeds but nothing works.
Do you have any suggestions.
Thank you

Language problem

Sat, 23 Jul 2016 00:00:52 +0000

I can provide screenshots, just ask.

When installing IC7000BKT A window pops up, in english, asking for the correct language. make sure English is selected. The rest of the install, setup and configuration proceeds in Italian and the final running screen is in Italian.

Except for the on-screen "Select Language" pop down. It's title is in English (unles "Select Language" is Italian for the same thing) and the vhoice selected is "English."

Any suggestions? My YL's strong suggestion is for me to learn Italian.
