ICOM IC-821H CAT not included

in VarAC - FM discussion forum

Hi everyone, I don't see the IC-821H listed in the CAT command rig selection menu. Any ideas how to use it? 73's, Adam

Hello from Switzerland,

Thank you Irad,Team and contributors for the precious jewel you delivered to HAM/EmComm community.

I had success in using VarAC in FM with FT817+SB3002A but not with my IC 821 and Westmountains P&P.

I am using v 8.4.4 and downloaded the last definitions (btw, the 821 still doesn't appear in the menu). I tried various PTT/COM combinations but to no avail.

Any hints welcome.

Its there - but not on the PTT side but on the Frequenct control side.

821 has no CAT commands for PTT. you would need to use DTR/RTS for PTT.

it does appear on the Frequency control - so changing frequency should work seamlesly.

73s!
