| # Icom Auto Discovery

IC-7610 and IC-9700 provide two COM ports on one USB jack. Both use the same port name and macOS suffixes one name with a number. It seems that there is no rule for the name and it can change after each power cycle. This results in an unwanted random change of the CAT control port. Chen, W7AY found a solution for this problem which is implemented by RUMlog.

Use Preferences–>TRX–>Transceiver CAT to set Auto discovery. When set, you do not have to specify the CAT serial port name because RUMlog will automatically detect it. You still have to configure the other options.

This also works for IC-7300 even though it only provides a single port.
