This software allows for seamless connectivity between your Icom radios and computer, offering a convenient way to manage communication and data transfer.
BCSIcom is a software program that allows users to exercise a CI-V Interface with Icom radios. To use this program, it's important to plug in any necessary USB/serial adapter. Once the program is started, select the correct baud rate and serial port from the popup menu. The ID can be left at the default value of 234, but it's important to note that the program expects decimal values for radio IDs, not hex. In order to set the ID for a specific radio, the documentation should be referenced.
The bytes value should be set to 4 or 5, depending on how many bytes the radio type uses for frequency commands. If the user is unsure, they can try one or the other. Every three seconds, the program will update the current frequency and mode. By typing the desired frequency into the text box and clicking the "Set" button, users can change the frequency. Additionally, popup menus can be used to set the mode and bandwidth. It's important to note that not all modes and bandwidths work with all radios.
For users who don't know the ID for a radio, the "Find All Radios" button can be clicked. This will prompt the program to search all radio IDs and look for any connected radios. However, it's still important to ensure that the baud rate is correct, so the program may need to be run at various baud rates if the user doesn't know what the radio is set for.
It's important to note that BCSIcom is not meant to be a full featured radio control program. Rather, it's designed to be a simple program for verifying that the cables, drivers, and other major hardware components for a radio link are working properly.
