Icom
When the CAT backend is Icom CI-V (USB or network), OpsLog shows a full RS-BA1-style console — the same panel whether you're on USB or remote.
For setup, see CAT Control; for the internet link, see Remote Icom over the Internet.
Choosing your model
Pick your model from the Rig model dropdown in Settings → CAT — it sets the CI-V address and tailors the console to the radio (e.g. attenuator steps). The model is also auto-detected from the radio's CI-V ID.
Console
- Twin VFO readout (MAIN / SUB): big tabular frequency, mode badge, band, and RIT/ΔTX offset, with a mode-button row (SSB / CW / RTTY / PSK / AM / FM).
- Spectrum scope + waterfall: ON/OFF, CTR/FIX, double-click to tune, and ◀ ⊙ ▶ to centre the scope on the current frequency (±50 kHz) and pan.
- Live meters always visible: S-meter (click → fill RST), power in watts, SWR.
- Receive DSP: AF / RF gain, squelch, AGC, preamp, attenuator (steps match the model — e.g. 20 dB on an IC-7300, 6/12/18 dB on an IC-7610), filter (FIL1/2/3), NB, NR, ANF, and — on CW only — the APF (audio peak filter).
- Passband / notch: Twin PBT (inner / outer) and manual notch + position.
- Transmit: RF power, MOX, TUNE, split with automatic offset (+5 kHz SSB /
+1 kHz CW), monitor. On voice modes only: mic gain, compressor, VOX (+ gain
- anti-VOX). Controls that don't apply to the current mode are hidden.
- Bands & antenna: one-touch band buttons, ANT1/ANT2.
- Clarifiers: RIT and ΔTX, wheel / ± tuning (Ctrl + ← / → nudges RIT).
Power ON / OFF
- Network: ON and OFF buttons are shown — the radio's LAN server answers even in standby, so ON works.
- USB: the buttons are hidden. Over USB the CI-V interface is unpowered while the rig is off, so a power-ON command can't reach it — turn the radio on physically.
The app never wakes the rig on connect (manual by design).
CW keying
CW can run through the radio's own keyer over CI-V — no extra hardware, and it works over the remote link too. See Audio and Keyers.
Model-specific notes
- IC-7300 / IC-705 / IC-9100: single-receiver, single-step attenuator (20 dB); the IC-9100 is USB-only (no LAN server).
- IC-7610 / IC-9700: dual scope (main/sub); stepped attenuator; LAN server for remote.
- If the scope is blank on a single-scope rig run at a non-default CI-V address, OpsLog now detects the model from the CI-V ID, not the configured address, so it decodes single-scope frames correctly.
