But For DX-ing and Contesting, it requires logging and/or contesting software to run with it. To me that's too many of unneeded connections to possibly go wrong during a contest.īut again, I do like it, it's a supperb CAT software, and excellent SWL features too. So they will not be able to run on their own with any setting as long as this is installed and present in your system running thru com0com, OmniRig, and Virtual Cables. This goes for all your other programs too.

I personally, wouldn't want (or need) my contest software running with anything other than itself connected directly to my radio, and N1MM is rendered useless for CW unless you have or buy a WinKeyer if you install and setup W4I, and it keeps the com port hostage if its running or not.

If you don't like to read, are ill tempered and short of patience, leave this alone, there's multiple software (total 4 + W4I = 5) that you must download and setup for this to get going, to then go back to all of your pre existing softwares, and change all of their settings plus new ones too. This software gives you 6 virtual radios, meaning you can run all your softwares in the backround, all with simultaneous connection to your rig using this as the backbone. Why a 4? The main screen cannot be adjusted to any size to fit your screen, and if you have multiple screens running, and after fitting them as best it allows you to, when you restart the program, you'll have to do it again, every single time, and if you shut down the pc, you'll have to restart every program you had to download, and setup some, not all, of the software again, starting with com0com and down the line.Ģ, 3 and 4. It's truly almost like looking directly at your radio. I really enjoy the aspect that the visial impact it gives you nearly replicates that of almost looking at your own radio, with the added benefit that EVERYTHING your radio does, is right there a mouse click away, without putting greasy fingerprints on your Icom's screen.

I ran into this software looking for something else and gave it a try, thanks to it's full featured free trial, that gets a 5!ġ. But on the other hand, I am able to choose the best available solution for each function - the hub functionality of Win4ICOM allows me to mix-and-match to achieve the solution that best meets my needs with the flexibility to swap out individual components if they fall behind. The combination that I use is not an integrated suite in the way that HRD is, so it is quite a lot more effort to get it all configured so that all the components work together. Win4ICOM is able to bind all of these together simultaneously. I also run SwissLog for logging, Bandmaster for a DX Cluster client, FLDigi for the older digi-modes, and WSJT-X for the newer modes. The synchronization can be turned off in which case I get the two receivers that I was used to in my previous radio but are not present in the IC-7300. This links to Win4ICOM so that tuning and mode selection is synchronised. I've added an SDRPlay RSP1a SDR receiver with the SDRUno software, connected to a RadioAnalog PTRX-7300 in the radio. The panadaptor of the 7300 is good for the price, but it is a small screen and can only display the band that the radio is currently tuned to. Where Win4ICOM really wins is in its ability to integrate a large number of other applications in order to arrive at a serious computerized shack solution.

This requires a lot of screen real estate and the current Win4ICOM screen takes up a lot of space.

The attraction of a computerized shack is the ability to combine a lot of functionality at the same time - log book, DX Cluster, rig control, panadaptor and decoders for various digital modes.

Having built quite a few Windows applications myself, I can understand why Tom has gone down this path, but I do hope that he will offer a "compact" layout in addition to the current full layout in a future release. My only criticism of the application is that the screen is not resizeable. It loaded and configured easily and I was controlling the rig within minutes. This is a very competently designed and built application which delivers all the functionality of my 7300 through an attractive and, generally, ergonomic screen interface. I mentioned them in the Groups.IO support group and the author, Tom, came back quickly with some advice that got it working for me, so I bought a licence. I tried Win4ICOM on the 30 day eval and liked it, but I had some hardware problems that stopped me using it. They all work reasonably well, but they are all showing their age these days. I've used several of the leading CAT programs over the years including HRD and DXLabs.
