Hello Howard:
I'm amateur radio operator for 25 years now, my calls are CO2KL
(Cuba extra class) and KM2KL(USA extra), my main interests are DX
and contesting.
This is my first post, I finally build an Icom interface for my
IC-M710, so I start testing HRI VS version, you did a great job
(thank you) and I get my radio connected in my first try BUT....
I get a number of errors while I test HRI, those errors are
listed here, hope you can help me, as this is my first and only
radio. Let me describe you my working conditions:
HRI Version: HRI VS 20161226
PC: Core I5 Laptop, Windows
10, 6Gb RAM, SSD 120Gb.
Interface USB - RS232: FTDI
CI-V Interface: Home made
CT-17 (2 transistors)
I can program the radio via EX1726.exe under DOS environment, in
that conditions I can change all programmables options in the
radio, so I believe CI-V is working just fine.
In HRI:
Turning
ON, all looks good, with "minor errors", as you can see here

Button is

If I turn on the AGC, the
button retains control till I click any other area in the
window, I need to click AGC again to turn back ON or OFF.
If I
turn on the SPEAKER, the button retains control till I
click any other area in the window, I need to click SPEAKER again to turn back

If I turn on the NB, the button
retains control till I click any other area in the window, I need to click NB again to turn back ON or
