Support for IC+9700

Unread post by wa2bfw »

Is there planned future support for the new Icom IC-9700 uhf/vhf radio?
I have one and would be happy to test things out.

Hi Tom,

You will be absolutely excited about this radio.
Is it really amazing.

I am looking forward about some nice features in RUMlog with the Icom IC-9700.

Greetings and 73 de Michael, DL2YMR

PS: Are you at the Ham Radio this Year?
PSS: I did some Videos about the Icom IC-9700 on my Youtube Channel. You will find it with "DL2YMR".

I've got the basics working, see here: www.dl2rum.de/RUMlogNG/RUMlogNG_Test.zip Send bug reports please via PM.

What is working yet?
  • Serial Port Auto Discovery
  • Frequency and mode exchange
  • CW keyer
  • CW keyer speed
  • Editing CW memories
For a USB CAT connection please use the Auto Discovery feature, because the IC-9700 provides two serial ports.

Which one? Please note, I prefer the short wave.

Hi Tom,

it would be nice to have a 9700-CTRL
and it would be great to have some higher Bandmaps.

I'm missing already:
  • Automatic selection for DUP- / DUP+ / Simplex (US firmware only)
  • Dynamic scope edges
  • Auto Hold in Center Mode

I concur the basics work. I put the radio in satellite mode but it did not detect the TX band. Which VFO is active (Main or Sub) is put in the frequency and when I saved, RX Band was not set. I imagine you could also populate the Sat Mode based on the combination of the RX Frequency and TX frequency. I do not think I ever tried my 9100 with RUMlog so I am not sure if that is supposed to work.

Thanks for adding support.
