- The software also allows the seamless use of transverters for the VHF/UHF bands with the display showing the transverter frequency. Additionally, there is a save/restore feature for the internal memories of your Icom transceiver.
- Win4IcomSuite is a windows control program for the Icom IC-7100, IC-7300, IC-7600, IC-7610, IC-7700, IC-7800, IC-7850/51 and IC-9700 transceivers supporting Icom’s built in spectrum scopes, the IQ spectrum on the IC-7610 as well as the SDRPlay devices.

About this project
This circuit uses an Arduino Uno or Nano to send a CI-V command to an Icom radio to ask for signal information, read the answer, convert it and display it on an analog output, where you can connect an analog (Arsonval) S-meter.
Rate this program @ The DXZone. Commander allows you to control your Alinco, Elecraft, Flexradio, Icom, JRC, Kachina, Kenwood, TenTec, or Yaesu radio from a PC running Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, or 10; both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors of Windows are supported.
It is powered by the Antenna Tuner port on the Icom radio. If your Icom does not have a tuner port, you can use any other port or connector that provides a +12V output (at least 200 mA). An external DC power source can also be used.
If you don't have an Antenna Tuner connector, you can use a PC computer power supply connector, and trim it with cutters to fit the Icom tuner connector.
This project is designed for an Icom IC-7000 transceiver, but it can be adapted to any Icom radio with a CI-V port.
You can use the CI-V '00' universal address on some Icom radios, making this converter compatible with any Icom radio, without changing the CI-V address in the code.
Ferrites are installed on input & output cables to eliminate RF induction. The +12 V DC to the S-meter is not necessary; it could be used to power meter backlight or any other optional features.
The 10 k ohms potentiometer is used to attenuate the signal output (which is too high for most analog meters) and calibrate the analog meter to get a full scale reading with a powerful local signal (+60 dB).
