IC705 wireless remote settings

Usage Questions
1

I have my IC705 setup with WFview to work remotely through my home network and it works perfectly, however I discovered by accident that it works fine even when my IC705 has its presets to “Normal” mode which has Data Mod and DataMod Off set to USB/MIC instead of WLAN. That I thought in theory cannot work but it does which has me confused.

You’ll find that receive audio always works. It is the transmit audio that will need to be switched to LAN or USB or MIC. As far as I know!

Thats the strange part because digital modes like FT8 using wsjtx seem to work in receive and transmit regardless of whether I have the 705 set to WLAN or Mic/USB

Well, I can’t explain that!

Just a thought, do you also havd the usb cable connected?

Sorry all, I must have had a “senior moment” because I cannot duplicate the issue now. In other words FT8 on wsjtx does not transmit if I have data mod set to mic/usb which is as it should be. What I did notice is I can transmit cw using the WFview cw option which works regardless of the ic 705 data mod setting. Thanks for your inputs.

Cw tx is normal because it does not use a modulation input…

I have a problem related to this. Not sure it originate in WFView, but here is my setup and problem;

IC-705 is connected to the network router using WLAN. The PC running WIN10 connected to the same network. I use N1MM for VHF/UHF/SHF contesting and most of the traffic is FT4/FT8. N1MM connects via CAT to the External Control Port in WFView. WSJT-X connects via DXLAB protocol and audio via virtual audio cables. The CAT and Audio connection between WSJT-X and WFView is working, and audio reaches the IC-705.

The problem is that every time I am trying to transmit with WSJT-X the DATA MOD setting in the IC-705 changes automatically to USB. It does not matter that I set DATA1 to WLAN in WFView setup, most of the time it flips back to Mic. Audio levels are displayed in WFView and if I go into the IC-705 menu while transmitting and change the DATA MOD from USB to WLAN (during TX) the radio starts transmitting that audio (again, audio flows well all the way to the radio).

What is changing my DATA MOD in the IC-705 setting when WSJT-X hits TX?
