E-Mail Over HF With ARDOP Winlink

Hi Eric:
We needed a RMS gateway and KL7AA club station is not one, as far as I know. The only gateway I know of is KL7EDK in Fairbanks.

I think is too much for set up, it is no reliable at emergency time, is what i see

Operating mode is only Pactor. Doesn't help me.

For the life of me, I can't get my Icom 7610 to transmit while using winlink. Doesn't matter what TNC I use. None of them will change the radio dial and put the radio in transmit mode. I've read various threads and have tried everything that I've read/can think of. The radio works fine with other software such as HRD, JS8Call, WSJTX, etc.

I've verified all the port settings on the computer, the radio, and winlink so that they all match, but nothing works.

I've tried using the 7600 setting (which worked for some it seems) and the "Icom Amature Radio" model. Icom address 98 matches the radio. I've tried both USB and USB Digital, I've tried every combination of the radio control and ptt port settings..

I have a 7100 where everything worked just fine with little fuss.

 

Well.. I dunno what to say.. after posting that, I kept messing with it.. and finally found the right settings. It's now changing the freq and xmiting.

For my 7610 setup it is:
Model: 7600
Icom Address: 98
USB Digital
Serial Port to use: COM4 19200
Enable RTS (not DTR)
PTT Port: CI-V

The ARDOP window has it's own 'radio setup' option under the ardop file menu. Those settings had to be:
Radio Model: None
Uncheck Enable TNC Control of Radio or PTT.

Hope that helps someone.

 

Hey glad you got it working and communicating how you solved your issue will definitely help others.
Maybe check out VARA. I used the paid version while camping and it was great. Much faster.
Take care, be safe in that 73!
