The IC-M710 is a rugged transceiver built for its purpose. Though it covers the whole HF band, it is not intended for use by a radio amateur. The user interface being its weakest point (for a Ham). The features that are sorely missed by a Ham being:
- A Tuning dial - a true VFO tuning dial is missing.
- A real CAT interface.
- A headphone jack
For the last couple of weeks I was pondering over the idea of having a remote control unit that will address the above limitations. Also with the additional features:
- A remote panel that can be used as a face plate for mobile operations.
- Band selection, tuner commands
- Rotator control
- Frequency memories
- RIT
- CW keyer

Hi, it's brilliant. I am trying to do the same thing, because I have the same radio. But i can't found information about RS232 connections. Could you tell me where i can found this info? Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnybody? I'd like to make one of these too.
ReplyDeleteI'd buy one if the price was right.
ReplyDeleteIs the source code, schematics, BOM, any of this available? I'd like to build one for myself and myself only.
