Elecraft

K2

The recommended CAT interface setting is 4800bps, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit, and 300ms polling interval.
For SO2V operation the menu option Options|Interface specific options|Use SPLIT command in SO2V technique
should be disabled.

Per Elecraft recommendations, the option "Do not poll radio during TX" in DXLog.net's radio settings should be checked.

K3, K3S, KX2, and KX3

The recommended CAT interface setting is 38400bps, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit, and 300ms polling interval.

Per Elecraft recommendations, the option "Do not poll radio during TX" in DXLog.net's radio settings should be checked.

For SO2V operation with K3/K3S without sub receiver, KX2, or KX3 the menu option Options|Interface specific options|Use SPLIT command in SO2V technique
should be disabled. For K3/K3S with a sub receiver, it should be enabled.

When recording voice messages for the internal voice keyer on KX2 and KX3, recording should be started by pressing the XMIT button on
the radio but completed by pressing ESC on the computer's keyboard.

For K3/K3S with sub receiver, coherent diversity operation is supported. It can either be enabled/disabled by pressing [Ctrl][-] or [Ctrl][Keypad Subtract]
or with a long press on the radio's SUB button. Diversity is indicated with a DIV icon below in the "seven segment" frequency counter in
the radio/band map window.

ICOM

IC-7300, IC-7610, IC-7850, IC-7851, IC-9700

Even if you are using a station controller such as a microHAM MK2R+ you will get a better user experience if you
let DXLog.net control the radio directly via the high speed USB interface. (The station controller should however
still be connected to the "REMOTE" interface for correct band and mode decoding.)

In DXLog.net's radio settings, select the relevant COM port, chose 200ms polling interval and set the interface to
115200bps, 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.


On the radio, go to the CI-V menu by selecting:
MENU->SET->Connectors->CI-V
Then set
CI-V Transceive = ON
CI-V USB Port = Unlink from [REMOTE]
CI-V USB Echo Back = OFF


For SO2V operation the menu option Options|Interface specific options|Use SPLIT command in SO2V technique
should be disabled for IC-7300 and IC-9700 and enabled for IC-7610, IC-7850, and IC-7851.

The internal voice keyer is supported but only for playback. Recording has to be done using the radio's recording menu.

ICOM CI-V is a semi-duplex protocol that both transmits and receives using a single line. Using CI-V Transceive = ON
at lower speeds may create message collisions causing DXLog.net's CAT driver to lock up. With collision-aware serial interfaces such as
microHAM device router Transceive can however be used also at e.g. 19200bps together with a longer polling interval (5-600ms) for a slightly
improved user experience.

Coherent diversity is supported on IC-7610, IC-7850, and IC-7851. It can either be enabled/disabled from the keyboard with
[Ctrl][-] or [Ctrl][Keypad Subtract] or by a long press on the radio's MAIN/SUB button.
Diversity is indicated with a DIV icon below in the "seven segment" frequency counter in
the radio/band map window.

IC-7800

Use the highest available speed on the CI-V interace (19200bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). A suitable polling interval is 300ms.

For SO2V operation the DXLog.net menu option Options|Interface specific options|Use SPLIT command in SO2V technique should be enabled.

As a rule, CI-V Transceive should be disabled in the radio's set up menu. However, with collision-aware serial interfaces such as microHAM device router
it can however be used at e.g. 19200bps combined with a longer polling interval (5-600ms) for a slightly improved user experience.

The internal voice keyer is supported however only for playback, not recording.

IC-7600 and IC-7700

Use the highest available speed on the CI-V interace (19200bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). A suitable polling interval is 300ms.

For SO2V operation the DXLog.net menu option Options|Interface specific options|Use SPLIT command in SO2V technique should be disabled.

As a rule, CI-V Transceive should be disabled in the radio's set up menu. However, with collision-aware serial interfaces such as microHAM device router
it can however be used at e.g. 19200bps combined with a longer polling interval (5-600ms) for a slightly improved user experience.

The internal voice keyer is supported however only for playback, not recording.

Older ICOM

Use the highest available speed on the CI-V interface.

Disable CI-V Transceive if applicable.

SO2V operation is not supported.
