@VE3RPY

These are the settings that @N0WRL uses and it works great for him.

CI-V Baud rate: Auto
CI-V address: 94h
CI-V Transceive: ON
CI-V USB Port: Unlink from remote
CI-V USB Baud Rate: 9600
CI-V USB Echo Back: OFF
USB Send: off
USB Keying: off

I would also add:

  • 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”.

Thanks & 73
