I just got my new IC-7600 hooked up and running today. As Ron noted below
using the IC-756PRO3 driver and adding the line to the [RIGS] to reset the
hex code to 7A for the 7600 left the split mode unavailable from WL. I
changed to the IC-7800 in the Ports section and modified the [RIGS] section
in the ini file to set the 7800 hex code to 7A. The split function now
works. However, none of the radio drivers I've tried, PRO3, 7700 and 7800,
will allow me to change bands by typing the a new frequency in the Call
field to QSY the radio. Has anyone with a 7600 found a way to do this in
WL? If not I will have to manually change the band by pushing a button!
Oh, the horror! Will the next WL update include a proper driver for the
IC-7600?

I had trouble using the IC-756PRO3 driver for my IC-7600. The splits didn't
function correctly.
I had to use the IC-7800 driver. Now the split functions correctly.

Wayne,
I use WriteLog successfully with the Icom IC-7600. There are two
solutions to your problem:
1. Edit the CIV address of the IC-7600 in the "Others" menu (clear
down near the bottom) in the 7600 to make it look like an IC-756PRO3;
2. Edit the writelog.ini file to change the CIV address there. This
is the option I use. If you do this, find the "[RIGS]" section of
the ini file and add the following line:
[RIGS]
Icom IC-756PRO3=0x7A
(0x7A is the default CIV address for the IC-7600. Note that if you are
using either Windows Vista or 7, the writelog.ini file you must edit
is in the "virtual store" under your user name, NOT in the Windows
folder. If you need more info on this, either search the archives or
email me directly.)
After adding the Icom... line to writelog.ini, choose the IC-756PRO3
as your rig in the WriteLog "Ports" menu, set the baud rates in both
the IC-7600 and WriteLog to match (do not use "auto"). I use 19200
baud.
Note that in the "Ports" setup dialog, you can click on the "Help"
button to learn about all the settings. Also, in the search pane at
the left side of the help window, you can double-click the "[RIGS]"
section to learn all about the settings in this section of the ini
file.
Works like a charm!

Craig, K0CF

Gentlemen
My version 10.74D marked on CD loads show 10.73
In the setup window under ports,should I be able to select my exact radio
IC7600?
I can not shows pro3, 7700, 7800 ect but not 7600.
I still can not track freq with my 7600.
I tried it today with a friends pro3 and out of the box works fine.
I have send e-mails to the guys that i bought it from but guess they are on
holiday or swine flu!
