Why doesn't computer software update freq when tuning the 746?
CIV Transceiver, when enabled, forces the radio to report its frequency whenever you QSY,
and to report its mode whenever you change mode via a front panel button. Make sure
you've set this option in the IC-746 if your software supports it.
With CIV Transceiver not enabled, rig control software must periodically "poll" the radio to
determine its current frequency and mode. When using this mode, make sure you have set
your software's polling rate accordingly.

Why isn't my computer control working?
There are MANY things that could be wrong. Here are a few of the things you can check:
•
Computer's serial port baud rate
•
Computer's serial port address
•
Interconnect wiring
•
Make sure the 746 CI-V address (#28 in the 746 menu) is set for "56h".
•
Make sure the 746 CI-V baud rate (#27 in the 746 menu) is set to "AUTO".
•
Make sure the 746 CI-V Transceive (#29 in the 746 menu) is set to "ON".
•
Make sure the 746 CI-V 731 Mode (#30 in the 746 menu) is set to "OFF".
