Unable to get Wfview to work on IC-7300

Yesterday I downloaded and installed Wfview onto my shack computer which runs XP.

I connected a USB2 cable between the radio and the computer; COM14 was assigned after the drivers loaded.

I started the program, clicked for USB, and selected Auto. I entered 94 as the CI-V address.

I have set the program and radio Baud rates Auto; no go; to 115,200; no go.

Of course I have saved parameters and restarted the program a dozen times.

What am I doing wrong?

ci-v transceive is on?

Also XP - we never tried it and tbh – using it is, like windows 7 – not really a good idea generally.
YMMV though.

Hi Rick

As Roeland says, we have never tested XP but to be honest, if the program starts, it should be OK :slight_smile:

In general, you should leave C-IV address blank and allow wfview to auto-detect it from the radio. It uses C-IV transceive to do this (which must be enabled in the radio) Getting Started | wfview

GM Roeland,

I managed to solve my problem.

I had CI-V “remote” enables. I disabled it and now it works.

I tried to go back in and delete my post, but couldn’t find it.

So I did not manage to delete it. Sorry.

I have all computers here on Win 10 Pro except the shack.

Unfortunately, some of the older ham software programs won’t run on newer O/S.

Tnx for the speedy reply.

XP - REALLY? Try a current OS.

David,

as an infra/linux/network engineer – anything that does not get security updates should not be used, except for when it’s completely stand-alone w/o a network.

On the other hand: we did not test XP so it’s a nice to know.

As former CISO I’m aware of best practices that amateurs often ignore!
