Hi,

Nothing could be simpler.  Thanks very much for the information.

Jim, VE3CI

The IC-7200 uses a USB connection.  But this connection acts as a serial
port and if you look in the Windows device manager, you will see a serial
port comport number for it.  Just select this comport number in the N4PY
program and it will work fine.

For MixW and N4PY to work together, In MixW you select the Tentec Pegasus as
the radio type.  This causes MixW to not use a comport to talk to the radio
but instead talk to the N4PY program directly through the tentec file
interface.  This works well.

Hi,

The IC-7200 apparently doesn't use the usual Icom CI-V interface ... but
sends the CI-V data over a USB connection.  Does the N4PY control software
work with this system and control the IC-7200?

My second question relates to the use of MixW and the N4PY control software
working simultaneously on the IC-7200.  The control software would control
the operation of the IC-7200 via the USB connection .... while the  MixW
software would control the digital data using a digital interface of some
sort to provide the AF data in/out and PTT to the data port on the radio.

Is there some way the control program and MixW program can interface to
exchange information on Frequency and mode which is useful for the built in
logging program in MixW?  e.g.  When the frequency is changed at the N4PY
control program ... or by actually turning the tuning dial on the radio ...
will it show on the MixW logging program ? .... which would be very convenient.

Thanks,

Jim, VE3CI

Thanks everyone for your help. I now have the driver.
Eric - W7NNN

Eric -

I was able to download what you want after a little bit of detective work.

In your URL path, the path you need to use is -

http://www.philcovington.com/SDR/N8VB_VCOMDriverBuild226.zip


Misc info:

I used the APPLE Safari browser on PC (or Mac) to quickly figure out the
problem.  Using Safari, when your mouse-over the Download button, it shows a
path which is totally the logical place I am sure Phil meant to locate the
driver build-version you seek.  However, Build 226 of this driver is indeed not
there.

Using Internet Explorer (I am using latest released version/revision of IE 8 on
XP Pro), I did not see a path when you mouse-over the Download button.

In IE, if you mouse over the "Source and Binary" link, it does show a path in
the IE Status Bar (View menu>Toolbars>Status Bar enabled) but just like the
Safari browser, this path does not work.  I could have also seen the path in the
HTML source for this page but I didn't take time to view and read the syntax in
that page-view.

What is located in his Downloads folder are older Versions 101 and 36 of this
driver.  But if you just go to the SDR folder-level at
http://www.philcovington.com/SDR/, you will find Build 226 sitting here. I am
sure Phil just made a mistake when he uploaded the Build 226 driver by placing
it one folder-directory up from where he meant it to be.  Easy fix when he can
get time but for now you can get it from the SDR folder level.  If you have any
questions about getting it from here until Phil moves it into his Download
folder, let me know.

This sounds like the program is hung in the navigator driver waiting for a
serial port read to complete.  I  think it is a bug in the navigator serial
port driver  The reason I think the program is hung in the driver software
is because task manager cannot stop the program.

I am using N4PY software to control my Ten-Tec Orion through a US Interface
Navigator.

If I attempt to turn off the N4PY software
without the Orion powered it WILL NOT shut down.

If I go to the Window Task
Manager and try END TASK it still will not close.

There are two ways I
can close the software:
Turn on the
Orion and close the software, or
Unplug the USB cable
to the Navigator
interface.
Both methods seem
rather brute force.

Any suggestions as
to what might be the issue??

I have a user that is having difficulty interfacing MixW with N4PY.  He has
tried both the tentec file interface and also the third party logging
program THP port interface.  His symptom is identical with both interfaces.
If he changes a frequency in MixW, it gets sent to N4PY and also the radio
and all is well.  But if he changes the frequency directly on the radio,
N4PY picks up the change and sends it to MixW.  MixW acknowledges receiving
the new frequency but does not update its display.  Is there some setting in
MixW that needs to be set for the MixW frequency display to update?  I don't
have MixW to check this out myself.

thanks for the suggestion Carl, but i have let the software search and have
manualy connected each port (even though I knew what port it should have been!) 
I have also set and set auto-baud- still with no results.

It is possible to have a bad CT-17?  Is there a way to confirm that?

My guess is you do not have the correct comport number set.

CT-17 interface.  I pluged the mini cable into the front of the CT-17  and
into the back of the radio, the big RS232 through an adapter to a DB9 and
into the computer com port,  set the baud to 19200 (and 1200 and 9600) N 8-1
and N 8-2. I have tried auto select for the com ports and auto select for
baud- still nothing.  Is there another user out there who would like to
share their successful settings with me?  I'm really frustrated!  Thanks de

CL-V level converters are a new thing for me.  No matter what settings I use I
can't seem to get anyone's software to acknowledge my IC-7000 through the CT-17
interface.  I pluged the mini cable into the front of the CT-17  and into the
back of the radio, the big RS232 through an adapter to a DB9 and into the
computer com port,  set the baud to 19200 (and 1200 and 9600) N 8-1 and N 8-2. I
have tried auto select for the com ports and auto select for baud- still
nothing.  Is there another user out there who would like to share their
successful settings with me?  I'm really frustrated!  Thanks de KC2RCU
