The other instance of wfview will have access to the radio’s audio and control. Once the server is running, you can launch a separate instance of wfview on another computer and connect to the radio. This button is intended for use with the IC-7300, but may be used on any CI-V radio. Use this feature to take a radio without an OEM network connection and “serve” it to the network. Server Setup: This button enables a built-in CI-V and audio server.wfview will assume that your supplied CI-V address is the manufacturer’s default address and use this address as the radio’s model number, which is what modern radios do. Use as Model too: Check this box for older radios that do not have a Rig Identification command.The address is supplied in hex, which is the same way the CI-V address is given in the radio’s menu. Some older radios do not respond to our Rig-ID requests, and for those radios, please supply the CI-V address here. It is strongly recommended to keep CI-V Transceive ON, and to not check this box.
And note that you may edit the serial port manually in the preference file, as detailed in the preferences section of this manual. Be sure and press “Save Settings” if you use this feature. If you are using a pseudo-terminal (such as from socat), you may select “Manual…” and enter in the serial port desired. wfview automatically populates this list with normal serial devices. The serial device may also be specified using the Serial Device combo box. We have a section of the users guide for this, but to temporary try changing permissions, use the following command: If you are having difficulty getting a USB connection to work, you may need to change port permissions. If an Icom radio is connected with a USB cable, wfview will generally find and use this connection automatically, without any intervention from the user. Also, if a different rig is being selected after connecting to a rig, save the settings and re-launch wfview. When changing these controls, make sure to press “Save Settings” to save the settings for next time. These controls are for the user to select and connect to the radio. From the settings tab, numerous program and radio settings may be adjusted.
