Hi,
Any idea if vfview will work with icom m803 radio transceiver?

Thanks

Hi Mark.

Unless it supports the standard Icom CI-V commands, then it won’t work at all with wfview. I can’t see any mention of CI-V in the manuals I have found so it doesn’t look promising!

Hi Mark,

With the remote port set to “RS-232”, it might speak CI-V, it’s not clear. Set to NMEA it would certainly not!

Do you have such an adapter? Can you see what data, if any, come out?

According to Dock Side Radio, the M802 has CI-V address 0x08 and operates at 4800 baud.

Hi Elliot,
Thansk for response!
I will contact ICOM support to find out about CI-V support. For now, I will keep my fingers crossed.

I’m quite curious! Let us know what you find out. Some of my previous information I posted here may have been about the IC-m802 accidentally. That IC-M803 looks amazing.

Can I ask a question, does it have a true “VFO” mode where you can tune transmit and receive frequency like a traditional ham radio?

Hi Elliot,

I just got comformation that m803 has the same support for ci5 as m802. It can also be set as a full ham transciver.

Thanks
Mark
