The following is a nearly complete table of all known adresses from CI-V capable rigs, not only by Icom. Adresses can be selected from $01 to $EF, giving 239 distinct adresses. On older rigs this was done by (re-) soldering some diodes, on newer rigs the adress can be changed by setup through the front panel or even by CI-V commands. The user can change the default adress if required. Each model was given a new default adress when it came out. As a general rule, Icom used only even adresses ($02, $04, $06. These values must not be used as adresses.Įach Icom model has it's own, distinct default adress.

$FA … $FF: Reserved for protocol functions such as frame delimiters, Ok, Not-Good, collision signals, empty memory etc.

But to my knowledge no rig really cares where the messages come from, so any adress could be used as from-adress.

$E0: Reserved for the controller, i.e.

$00: Used as to-adress, means all connected rigs.Īny rig with CI-V Transceive set to on should react to commands adressed to $00.Īny rig with CI-V Transceive set to on adresses it's messages to $00 when tuning the dial, changing mode etc.

There are some reserved adresses with special meaning:

To-adress is the 3rd byte in a frame, from-adress the 4th byte. Values $FA to $FF are reserved for special protocol functions. But then there are the odd addresses which haven't been used at all in amateur radio products. With a rate of 1 to 2 new rigs per year that leaves room until 2036 or so :). But Icom has been happily using addresses above the originally specified range without any issue. That range was exhausted in 2010 with the IC-9100.

The 'Icom CI-V Reference Manual (3rd edition)' from 1991 specified the adress range from $01 to $7F. If two or more rigs of the same model are used on the bus (or level converter), you need to change the adresses of the rigs, each individual rig must have it's own, distinct adress. Each model has it's own default CI-V adress, which can be changed by the user. The destination (to-adress) and the sender (from-adress). That's pretty much what I did to get CAT control and modulation from 101D to WSJT-X.Each message (frame) sent to a rig or received from a rig contains two adresses. I also found that on FT-8 I had to turn down the "RPORT" GAIN to 12 to prevent ALC distortion of the transmitted signal (you may need more or less - just adjust RPORT gain to keep ALC in the White). FT-8 should now have audio via the USB rear port.

If there is no tone then Try the following: Go to Radio Settings, MODE SSB and select SSB MOD SOURCE "REAR". It should key the 101D and modulate the radio with a single tone. Now run WSJT-X FT8 and activate the "TUNE" button. The button should turn Red and the 101D should be keyed. On the same Radio Tab click on the "TEST CAT" button. Data Bits = 8, Stop Bits 1 and Handshake - None Leave DTR and RTS set to nothing.Īt this point if you connected the rear USB from the Radio to the computer you should be able to test both CAT and PTT function.

Select Radio Tab: Under CAT CONTROL, Serial Port dropdown box select the Enhanced COMx number Set the baud rate to 38400. CAT RTS = ONĪssuming you installed WSJT-X and it is running: Proceed to WSJT-X program "Settings": Go to File Settings. Set "CAT RATE" to 38400bps Set CAT TIME OUT TIMER" to 10msec. Scroll down to "232C RATE" and set to 38400bps. Radio CAT Control Settings: Go Into the 101D FUNC Menu "OPERATION SETTINGS" and select "GENERAL". A Second comport will show up as "Silicon Labs Dual CP210x USB to UART Bridge "Standard" COM Port (COMx)" My port number was 5 but may also be different on your computer.? Right now you are only interested in using the " Enhanced" COM Port and its associated com port number.Ĭonnect the Yaesu provided USB cable between the Rear 101D USB Connector and a USB port on the computer. Port1 will read "Silicon Labs Dual CP210x USB to UART Bridge Enhanced COM Port (COMx)" where (COMx) in my windows setup as COM 9, it may/will be different on your computer.

The installed driver will appear under Ports (COM & LPT).

After you install the driver verify it is working by using Windows Device Manager. The first thing to do is download and install the? FTDX101D/MP USB Driver (Virtual COM Port Driver)? from the Yaesu website.
