Title: Cable from my Icom7200 into my pc
Post by: Jason on July 13, 2018, 0714 UTC
So I have this cable which goes into my radio, & the other end is a USB connector. Which I'm running into my pc. So I am wondering of a SDR program I can run to bring up my radio on my computer ?

Rig control apps like HRD/DM780 work well with the 7200. I suppose any sdr app that can control an Icom receiver will work also, as you can tell the 7200 to use an id for say a R71A or R7000 to fake the app into thinking it's controlling a R71A or R7000 or what have you. I had a 7200 for a while, great rig for digital work, easypal controlled it just fine for sending and receiving slow scan on hf. Wish every rig had a usb port.

Had a bad experience on the USB driver convertion, not the radio to usb bridge cord. Had to use thee zadig something or another, usb driver program wouldn't load on windows 10. When using zadig to load the usb driver on win10, it will knock out your win10 usb drivers, so your mouse & the usb ports will not work after using zadig to load drivers.
Anyway: reloaded my win10 drivers from Dell, usb ports & mouse working.
