Band sweep

The radio has no band scope over CI-V, so this steps through a range and reads the S-meter at each point.

Station IDs

Call signs decoded from repeaters' Morse IDs show up here, with the frequency they were heard on, and label those frequencies everywhere in the panel. Turn on Decode Morse on the main panel, under the frequency, or sweep with Stop on signal, then identify.

APRS

Turn on Decode APRS on the main panel, under the frequency and tune 144.800 (or 145.825 while the ISS is over). Packets are decoded straight from the radio's audio, with no TNC.

Sending needs a cable from this computer's audio output into the radio's mic input, with VOX off, and a licence for the frequency. The radio transmits on the main band for about a second, then goes back to receive.

D-STAR

Calls heard in DV mode show up here: who is calling, through which repeater, their message, and their D-PRS position, which also goes on the APRS radar. Tune a D-STAR repeater, or 145.375 simplex, in DV.

My call sign and routing

These are read from the radio when it connects. The routing buttons fill UR, R1 and R2 and save them to the radio; then transmit with PTT in DV mode. Call next to a call heard sets only UR to that station, so R1, R2 and any reflector link stay as they are; Via the gateway goes back to CQCQCQ. Link, unlink, echo and info are commands to the repeater's gateway: key up briefly and it acts on them.

D-PRS, digital squelch and DV data

Position for D-PRS

Indoors the radio's GPS often has no fix, so its D-PRS beacons go out without a position. Manual makes the radio use the position set here instead (latitude and longitude in degrees, south and west negative).

Digital squelch

DV mode only. With DSQL the speaker opens only for calls to your call sign; with CSQL only for calls sent with the same code (00–99).

Text messages over DV data

Short texts sent as D-STAR data show up here, from other radios and from you.

Sent in DV mode on the main band. Automatically: the radio transmits the text by itself. With PTT: Deck keys up for a moment to send it. Other D-STAR radios hear it on their data output; this panel shows what yours hears.

    Downlink Doppler only: the radio can't shift its transmit frequency separately.

    SSTV pictures

    Turn on Decode SSTV and tune 145.800 while the ISS is over during an ARISS SSTV event (announced on ariss.org; usually PD120, a picture every few minutes): pick ISS voice / SSTV above and Track & tune keeps the Doppler shift out. A picture draws as it comes in and is kept here when it ends.

    Channels & memories

    Saved channels and memories are picked on each band card of the display: ‹ › step through them and the channel name opens the list. The radio can't send its memories over CI-V, so import them once: export the memory channels to CSV from the radio's SD card menu or Icom's cloning software, then choose the file or drop it here. CHIRP CSV files work too.
