SETI public: Icom R7000 Controller

As part of the work to integrate my R7000 into SETI net I had to construct the basic control software. It seems to work well and allows me to set the R7000 operating frequency and mode from the computer and also reflects the current receiver frequency and mode on the computer. I like it better than any of the other software controllers that I have seen.

I would like to have a few people test it out on their systems. It can be downloaded at:

Look for R7000 Controller software to download this GREEN release.

I have it running on a USB to RS-232 converter which is the greatest thing since sliced bread. They cost about $20, are small, and with them you can add as many RS-232 ports to your computer as you need.

Now that the R7000 controller is working and the receiver itself is stable (I found a cold solder joint in the 13.6V distribution system) I am looking forward to installing one of the downconverters that Iban is working with in the receiver IF and then connecting it to my sound system.

So please download the R7000 controller and give it a test run on your receiver.
