Lot's of QSOs can occupy the same bandwidth of one voice signal. No straining to figure out what someone is saying on a bad link. I routinely keep my volume turned down and rely solely on the waterfall display.

Most of the digital radio world exists mainly to have QSOs by keyboard. It is the Winlink Global HF Email System. There is a system that does run 24/7, though. It's not something that runs 24/7 waiting to service your emergency needs. It's only a "system" when a bunch of stations decide to get together to pass traffic. A whole new world has just opened up before me.ĭon't get too excited. Had no idea what you were referring to with NBEMS, so I Googled it.

Will order the correct USB CI-V interface cable to eliminate the adapter. I'll get another adapter from different source and give that a try. RTS-03 USB Drivers - the binary file is cdm_setup.exe from RTS website. This adapter was specifically bought for this application. SLUSB6PM from Signalink USB ––> 6-pin mini DIN Data / Accessory Port Connector on rear of 703.Īcer Aspire One - Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, XP Home SP3 Netbook USB ––> USB power cable for Signalink USB ––> Signalink USB power jack. Netbook USB ––> RTS-03 USB-Serial Adapter ––> ZLP Icom CI-V ––> CI-V remote control jack on rear of 703. SLUSB6PM - For 6-pin mini DIN Data / Accessory Port Connector as suggested and provided by Tigertronics STANDARD CI-V Interface for ANY and ALL CI-V Icoms Do you have a different USB-Serial Adaptor you could use (even if you borrow one to test things)? Would have been first choice to get a USB direct interface, but you have this serial one. The RTS-03 is likely to be the issue, as others have had the same problem: Have you worked through the debug procedure HRD suggests? (See ) Anything running on the Netbook that might interfere?.What driver you are using with the USB-Serial Adapter.

Anything about the RTS-03 (It is a OEM part and the RTS-03 is just RT Systems reseller part number for it - might get a hint from the drivers).Which Cables (or did you make them yourself).Probably need a PSK31 for Dummies manual.Ĭould you spell out exactly what your setup is? I did open the DM780 tab and see the waterfall with several traces, but they read out as gibberish, like a stuck key on a keyboard. Still have the same error message, Failed to read frequency. And an RTS-03 USB to Serial adapter, since my netbook does not have a serial port. I think there's a problem with my 7000 because I can't do rig control anymore but it's still usable. You'll still be able to operate with it but you won't have your log auto-populated with band, freq, mode, etc. To control the radio you need a separate CI-V interface. The Signalink is only an audio and PTT interface.
