I searched for this, and could only find Linux instructions. I’m going to simplify this on the server end by having multiple servers with different ports. The problem is I need to create different profiles on a single client laptop for each server/radio. What’s the easiest way to do this?
Hi Earl,
You just need to make desktop shortcuts that specify different settings files. The settings files need not even exist a priori, just make the shortcuts and wfview will create the files in their special locations for you when you press Save Settings.
You could make the shortcuts like this:
wfview.exe --settings ic7300.conf
wfview.exe --settings ic7100.conf
etc.
If you google for “windows create shortcuts with command line arguments” you will see how to do it. I would write step by step directions but since I do not actually use windows I might mislead you.

Elliot,
You mentioned back in 2021 that you where considering separate profiles to handle multiple radios. Is the Windows shortcuts idea the workaround and only current solution for the multiple radios issue? Are there any plans for a wrapper to create multiple profiles for different radios?

Hi Peter,
The way we’re doing it is via shortcuts. That way you can have an icon on the desktop for each radio.

Hi Earl,
I want to run 9700 & 7300 and possible a 2nd 7300 on Winders 11.
The short cut idea looks good, have not tried it.
However, The 1st radio I connected over a year ago, 7300 shows up as com3
The 9700 shows as com7 vhf & com8 uhf (probably dependent on which window of the radio it appears?)
Device Manager show Audio In and out to be (I renamed the connection for the original FLRIG use as “7300_Audio_In” and “7300_Audio_Out”. No Audio device appears for the 9700 when plugged in. Is driver 7300 used for both radios?
Earl,
I looked for a copy of a ic7300.config
Where is it an/or what is the format if I need to write one?
Thanks for your help

The file will automatically be created, you then change the settings as normal (make sure to save changes). Any subsequent times you run wfview using –settings xxxx it will load the settings from that file.
Got’er working.
ic9700 ain’t worth it though for monitoring repeaters. The squelch is not available on VFView even if the rig is squelched. That’s OK. Thought it would be great to monitor repeater remotely along with the 7300’s.
I noticed that the client computer when using network does not create a .conf file that can be used to create custom short cut. I looked all over, then I learned to just type in the starting port number, save and restart. Proper rig will pop up. Maybe there is a command line option???
Thanks for the great product. I’ll be passing the word.

Sorry I don’t understand what you mean, wfview provides a SQL slider which will control the radio squelch. Also the type of squelch can be configured in the Repeater window.
As far as the shortcut is concerned, you simply create a windows shortcut with the target wfview.exe --settings [rig name].conf and this is the settings file that will be used each time you run that shortcut. This is all covered in the manual (complete with examples for both Linux and Windows) Command-Line Arguments | wfview
I suspect I know what the problem is, you have probably configured the IC-9700 LAN audio to be pre-squelch, this is done through the radio menu.
Ok Phil,
I’ll take another look at it in a couple days. Thanks.
