Win-Test Reference Manual : Supported rigs

Supported rigs

Kenwood

Virtually, all Kenwood rigs are supported by Win-Test. They all use the same CAT command subset needed by Win-Test.

Kenwood rigs use by default :

Speed: 4800 Bauds
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 2

Models successfully tested : TS 850S, TS 930S PIEXX (Tnx FM5BH), TS 940 S.
Note that the TS2000 is set at 9600-8-N-1 by default, but these settings can be changed to 4800-8-N-2 (see manual).

Icom

The CI-V mode must be disabled on these tranceivers.
The ICOM control protocol does not allow to know which is the active VFO. The bandmap window displays only the frequency of the VFO A (whatever VFO is active on the radio), and the VFO B is disabled, except for split operation.

Icom generic : This setting can be used to connect an Icom rig not listed below.
You need to set the rig Icom address (found in the rig manual) in the wt.ini file in the [Interfaces] section.
IcomGenericRadio1=<n>h when n is the radio 1 HEX address
IcomGenericRadio2=<n>h when n is the radio 2 HEX address
For example : IcomGenericRadio2=48h will use address 48 hexadecimal for the Radio 2

Other supported Icom:

IC 7400
Use the Icom generic setting with hex address 66h and set COM port to 9600 bauds (also succesfully tested with 1200 and 19200 bauds and TRX set accordingly), 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits. The IC 7400 is the European version of the IC 746 PRO. Tnx F8CRH

FT 100
FT 1000 (D)
COM port set to 4800 bauds, 8 data bits, no parity, no flow control and 2 stop bits. Tnx F5FLN
FT 1000 MP (Mark V)
COM port set to 4800 bauds, 8 data bits, no parity, no flow control and 2 stop bits. Tnx FM5BH and F8CRH
FT 817
Note that the CAT system of the 817 does not allow to identify which VFO is active. For this reason, the VFO B is disabled in the bandmap windows, and the VFO is always shown active. The split is supported.
FT 847
Note that the CAT system of the 847 does not allow split, or switching between the VFO A and B. For this reason, the VFO B is disabled in the bandmap windows. Tnx VK6NU and EA3IN
FT 897
Note that the CAT system of the 897 does not allow to identify which VFO is active. For this reason, the VFO B is disabled in the bandmap windows, and the VFO is always shown active.The split is supported.
FT 900
FT 920
FT 990
COM port set to 4800 bauds, 8 data bits, no parity, no flow control and 2 stop bits. Tnx F6GOX

Others

Elecraft K2
Use the Kenwood settings
TenTec Omni VI
Use the Icom generic setting, with 04h hex address, and set COM port to 9600 bauds (can be modified in TRX if needed), 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. Tnx F6IFY
