The workaround is to use the drivers supplied for Vista.Īlthough I have successfully used the interface with a serial-USB adapter, I have seen USB CI-V cables from China at very cheap prices on eBay.Ĭonsequently, if your PC/Laptop has no serial ports, it's hardly worth the effort of building this interface nowadays. The drivers supplied with Windows7 & Windows8 will result in an "Error 10" when they detect the counterfeit chip. When Prolific discovered this, they amended their drivers to detect counterfeits. Leave the baud rate set to Auto unless there is more than one of the same radio connected. Many of these use counterfeit Prolific PL2303 chips. CI-V Baud Rate / CI-V Address The CI-V Baud Rate sets the data transfer rate between the radio and the radio control software. If you intend using this interface with a USB/Serial adapter, beware of a possible issue with many of the cheap adapters available on eBay. Probably the interface can be used with other HTs, although I have not tried it. Only a change of connector to a 4 pole minijack plug was required. I have also used this interface to program my Yaesu FT50R. To test and/or debug the interface, I would strongly recommend using AA6YQ's CI-V Commander program. This is easily resolved by powering the circuit from RTS (pin 7) instead of DTR (pin4). The program drops the DTR signal, resulting in no power to the interface. If YPLog is configured to use PTT from either the Parallel port or a different serial port from the one used by the CI-V Interface, I experienced some problems with YPLog using this power source. If a PTT function is required from the COM port, pin 7 (RTS) Using a USB/Serial adapter from a notebook. No problems have been experienced even at 19200 baud with the IC706. It has also worked successfully when I've used this interface on various PC's and also Dell Latitude Notebooks with both an IC735 and IC706MkIIG. The transistor types are not critical, I just happen to have plenty of 2N2222As.
To acquire the lastest software, both source code and pre-built. For more information, read the User Guide. Please note that the resistor value 4K7 means 4700 ohms. Provides ICOM address translation between ports. It does work well and has the advantage of being easily constructed inside a 9 pin D-type shell. Although the circuit doesn't conform exactly to the RS-232 specification, I've made small changes to the modemĬontrol signals connections. Here is a very simple CI-V interface, originally described by A few circuits have been published for CI-V interfaces, most of which
