There are certain settings that need to be done in the IC718 also (like baud rate and device address). I hope you have done that as mentioned in the video. Also I hope you are using the correct cable. It's a simple setup really. Working fine at my end with windows 11. Please also make sure the address of your IC718 is 5E because that's what the software is looking for. I am sure you will figure it out. Many people are using it successfully.
@@AniruddhaBokilVU3FML Thanks for the quick reply, as soon as I hit the connect button it locks the program, I have to go to task manager to close it or restart pc. My PC is running Win11 using the Comport 2 at 9600 baud on a USB Serial Port cable with the FTDI Drivers. On the radio IC-718, CIV TRN is OFF, Using 5E and the baud rate of 9600. Your program com2 baud of 9600. Locks when I try to connect. Tried a second PC the same locksup, used the putty program cable is good. Yes its plugged in at rear of radio. Even did a radio reset. Maybe someone here had the same problem and can let me know. Anyway looks like a very cool program for the IC718 Thanks ve2xxm
Ft8 requires audio/pc interface and CAT/Rig control for the radio. This is just the Rig control to operate the radio. You would still require an audio interface with ptt control
