[Hamlib-developer] IC737 ?

From: Sid B. <sb...@bl...> - 2002-11-16 01:23:39

	I have an interface and grig up and running, but there is no ID for
this rig. I can see stuff going back and forth on the interface and
trace gives me the following:-
read_string: timed out without reading a character
TX 6 bytes
0000 fe fe 50 e0 03 fd
RX 6 characters
0000 fe fe 50 e0 03 fd
Also messages about not being able to get states.
I presume this is because there is no valid ID for the IC737.

right.
However, I just checked in support for it in the CVS repository.
Have a look at the README.developer file if you're interested in
testing the development version.

In the mean time, you can still try to pass "-Ccivaddr=0x3c" to rigctl with
model I735 or better.

the following results:-

I've tried most commands, but those are the ones that gave me other than
"Feature Not Available". Specifying an IC756 did not work.

This is because the 735 uses different freq len. The best for you is
to grab the latest from http://hamlib.org/bleeding-edge/ , it has 
support the IC-737. The "-m 321" is your friend.

[Hamlib-developer] Re: IC737 - more testing

From: Sid B. <sb...@bl...> - 2002-11-24 22:55:12

	I tried "-m 319" and am able to get/set frequency, also with grig I am
able to use mouse clicks to tune up/down, steps depending on what figure
I click on, e.g if I am on 7075.000 and I click on the "5", it changes
up to "7076.000"  or down to "7074.000". I've now altered ic775.c to
default address 0x3c, so I can access using grig.
