Hi Steph,<br><br>could you resove this problem in the mean time? I just helped DJ3WE to upgrade his IC-7800's firmware to allow him using later versions of WT (after 4.19), but we still see a communications problem when using WT 4.20 and beyond. 4.19 and before works like a charm.<br><br>73 Ben, DL6RAI<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Yes, this is what you will see if the IC-7800 firmware is out-of-date. The latest version is 3.10 (now almost 5 years old). Years later, Win-Test was updated to display both Icom VFOs, as supported by the new IC-7800 firmware. It was not possible to provide backwards compatibility to the old IC-7800 firmware.</span></p>
