Description

Good morning to you developer friends from Italy. Icom IC-R6 is one of the most diffused receivers and I ask if it is possible to include the possibility to work with CHIRP 2 and IC-R6. Thank you very much and best regards.
Roberto

I can loan IC-R6 and PL2303 based USB-interface cable if required.

By the way is this duplicate of #2795?
Either way, I can also provide remote access to a computer running the USB-interface and the radio if that's easier and quicker.

Hello Jussi and thank you for your reply.
Yes sorry, I should have posted in group #2795 and now I do.
I have an IC-R6, a Mac Book Pro M1 Max, your CHIRP software and this cable:

I tried the CHIRP software by selecting the preset of all Icom receiver models. Sometimes it seems to read (e.g. with prest Icom 746) but no numbers appear but only escalation dots. Sometimes it gives no sign of life at all.
I ask if you plan to make a preset for Icom IC-r6 or if there is an alternative solution to make the software interact with the receiver. Thanks Roberto
