[WT-support] Configuration of IC756PRO3 and WINtest

[Mirko Holte]

Hello Hugh hello Philippe,

I am using the Win-Test now the first week (first contest
was the WAG Contest last Weekend) and I did not have any
problems with my ICOM IC-756PRO3 and a serial Interface
with Win-Test. I suggest, that you try I lower speed on
the serial bus. If I remember correct, I have the speed
setting 9600Baud. Together with other contest programs in
the past (SD or CT-WIN) I had only 4800Baud, but this should
be enough, too.

If nothing helps I suggest that you should connect the Icom
to the second Radio Port to check out if the transceiver working
on this Port instead the other one.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to drop
me a mail.

73 and good luck

Philip,Many thanks for the reply to my query,but absolutely no joy.Having
followed all the steps numerous times I still cannot get the program to
communicate with the radio.I downloaded the latest version of the program on
Thursday,is there the possibility that there might be a bug in the software?

Any further suggestions?
