@W9AFJ While I dont have this specific radio there are a few things that you’ll need to do for everything to work properly. You’ll need to make sure you COM port settings are set properly in device manager as well as make sure you baud rate and cat time out timer are set properly in your radio settings and that those settings match what are setup in the COM port settings and the WRL Cat control app.

  • Important Notes (For Windows Users):

    • Go to ‘Device Manager’ –> ‘Ports (COM & LPT)’ and right click on your COM port for your radio, then click ‘Properties’

    • Under the ‘Port Settings’ Tab, make sure you have set the baud rate under the ‘Bits Per Second’ drop down that you’ve set inside your radio settings (do this for both COM ports for your radio, if you have more than 1).

    • If you have a ‘Power Management’ Tab make sure to uncheck/disable the two options here that say “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” & “Allow this device to wake the computer”

Set your cat time out timer to 100msec in your radio settings as well as the baud rate to the same thing (preferably 38400) in the com port settings, radio settings and wrl cat control app.

I couldn’t get cat control working on my Icom 7300 till I changed the USB cable. No kidding.
