Gary,
I have absolutely no problem with an Icom IC-706mkIIg and WL 10.71C.
The 706 Mark II g is using the default CI-V address of 56h. I have
set CI-V Baud (item 35) to 19.200 (personal preference - do not
use "Auto").
The [RIGS] section of Writelog.ini contains:
[RIGS]
Com4:=19200,n,8,2
Icom IC-706=0x58
In writeLog "Setup | Ports" I have
COM4: CW Icom IC-706 19200 Poll (X) No.
DVK: Windows Soundboard
Keyer: PC Generates
All Mode PTT on CW Port RTS (Checked)
It's about as simple as that ...
73,
... Joe, W4TV
