To set the serial ports to emulate, these two lines:
And I had also tried to install the packages on WinXP, but I have no XP driver for the Prolific USB.Īfter unzip'ing it, edit the config file ~/.dosbox/dosbox-0.74.conf
All this after a failed attempt to download the source tar ball and compile it myself. I actually used the synaptic package manager and checked the box to include dependent packages from the repository. Then downloaded DosBox from for debian to my ubuntu 15.10 system. OK! I quickly made the cable for the USB-TTL adapter in the photo. CPU reset returns the radio to out-of-box condition: all memory channels are erased, all items in the set mode returned to default values, and all VFOs cleared.
The user belizesailor at Cruiser Forum says the DosBox emulator for games emulates the serial port so well that the ICOM software will work. CPU Reset Procedures: This is a list of CPU resets for most ICOM radios. I used a PL2303 based 5 pin adapter.įeb 2 14:50:18 nav3 kernel: usb 1-4.4: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.įeb 2 14:50:18 nav3 kernel: pl2303 1-4.4:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
And also elsewhere found the clause, "NMEA 0183 sentences at 4800 baud".Īnd a note describing how to make a clone cable from a USB-TTL adapter, commonly used to program Arduinos, and a phone plug.Ĭonnect tip of mono phone plug to Rx and Tx soldered together and ring to ground of a USB to TTL serial adapter. I next found web page that says the ICOM clone port is TTL open collector, just one wire. PC with an real DB9 serial port running DOS, not Windows, would be It does direct manipulation of the serial port register so a The software for cloning and configuring the M710 seems to be EX1726.exe (for 710RT use ES2144.exe)įor DOS. I must have put a transistor in backwards or something. Notes: Users have reported that this download is compatible with the indicated Operating Systems but an X does not necessarily mean it isnt. It needed to be plugged into my current laptop with a USB-serial adapter/emulator. This cloning software is designed to perform data setting and cloning for the below VHF/UHF Transceivers. So I first made clone cable like the CI-V cable with dual 2N2222s, a diode, some resisters and a DB9 connector. I searched the Internet and found most people were making (8 years ago) clones of the ICOM interface OPC-478. I would like to play with WinMOR and soundcard modem and some of the digital modes. I have been using it aboard my sailboat since it was new in 2006 with an older Pactor IIe. I need to reprogram my I-COM M710 Marine SSB/HAM HF rig.
