[WT-support] Icom 746 Pro Connection Help?

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Neil,

Are you using Win-Test 4.2?

Is your IC-746 Pro using the default address (66h) or the IC-746 address
(56h) (check the Icom menus).

In Win-Test, did you select Radio Type IC-746 or IC-746Pro?

Did you exit HRD before starting Win-Test?

Are you using a USB-to-serial converter or microHAM device or other virtual
serial port, or a "real" COM4 serial port?  If it's not a real COM port,
maybe you need updated device drivers for Vista 64, or maybe you should try
COM5 in case COM4 comflicts with some other port on your PC.

Have you tried setting DTR and/or RTS to Handshake when "Use CI-V" was NOT
checked?

Please send me a screen shot of your Win-Test SETUP screen and COM port
Config screen and any screens from a virtual COM port setup program.

Finally, powering everything off and on in sequence sometimes fixes things.

   1. Power up computer
   2. Wait for boot to complete
   3. Power up Radio
   4. Start Win-Test

Do you have a laptop or other (non Vista) machine you can try?

73,
Bob, N6TV
