There’s considerably more variance in supported ci-v commands across history than I’d been aware of, and indeed, the 0x14 family of commands is missing entirely from all IC706 variants. Still on the hunt for a collection newer than this but in the meantime does anyone have an IC-718 that I could borrow for a few days to test and write a how-to to round out the set with my 703 and 706? The price is right and you can still get them new so if everything works out I might get a 718 of my own.<div><br></div><div>Here’s the Rosetta Stone. The interesting part starts around page 70, with the command sets for each radio. <a href="https://rigreference.com/storage/manuals/icom/icom_civ_reference_v32_2002.pdf--5f5da3c7533068.90454405.pdf">https://rigreference.com/storage/manuals/icom/icom_civ_reference_v32_2002.pdf--5f5da3c7533068.90454405.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div>-r<br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPad</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Feb 18, 2022, at 12:18, Rob Seastrom <rs@seastrom.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Is anyone else running an IC-706 MkIIG and controlling it with FLRIG, optimally on Linux?</div><div class="">I'm looking to compare notes.
