I want to share with you how I found to let work my ICOM 7610 for CW and RTTY, using the Microham DXP 24bit… I have to say it was a real long process, and thanks to my friend Stefano IK2JUB we finally find our after several test.-
WARNING ! I am not responbile for any trouble you can cause using these information, if you replicate these setting with a different TRX or different Interface, could not works ! I am not responsible for any damage this can cause.
First of all, need to regulate some setting in the Microham DXP, you can access the Menu pressing Setting at the same time the buttons TX and RX for Microham Menu:
One you are in the Menu, press TX or RX to move along the different setting, and rotate the knob to select properly.
Copy the following choose:
- 1.1 Cat type : CIV
- 1.2 Cat DTR : NONE
- 1.3 Winkey DTR: CW
- 1.4 Fsk DTR : PTT
- 2.1 Qcw : NO
- 2.2 Pfsk : YES
- 3.1 FSK Invert : NO
Other step of menu was not necessary to change from the default choose.
For setting the proper transmission on CW and RTTY, I have used QARTEST my favourite Contest Software, but I assume that any other similar software could probably works with same setting.
From QARTEST, con on Configuration Menu and set like this:
Then from the Setting of MMTTY, the RTTY Engine that QARTEST use to generate the RTTY modulation, set like this:
On the TRX, I have set the following:
MENU-SET-CONNECTORS-MOD INPUTS- DATA1 MOD = ACC
No other setting on TRX are required
After this setting, I was able to use the TRX for CW and RTTY.
