R30 Documentation for SD Card format

[richardrosa]

Greetings All,

I am in the process of writing some Linux software for the ICOM IC-R30 (and other ICOM radios).
One of the functions the software performs is to create files for the SD Card to 'import' into the radio.

Through a LOT of trial & error, I've managed to figure out MOST of the formats for each of the fields.
However, I would like to make this applicable to some of the other ICOM radios that use SD cards.
Does anyone know if there is a document (similar to the CI/V docs) that describe the formatting for the .csv files for various ICOM radios?

Thanx.

Richard Rosa

Here's the R30 csv file and how I upload/edit mine(notepad++)
I included the format csv uses plus a few lines of info that works on my r30.
Only requesy I have is if you can, make something simple for windows lol- everything costs money for this scanner

Thanx.
However, this is not quite what I need.
What I need is a specification for each of these fields (what values are permissible, etc).

I've figured a lot of this out by doing what you did (dump the current settings to an SD card).
This is VERY time consuming and error prone.
But I do thank you for your effort.

The software that I am working on will probably NOT work on a Windows machine.
My system runs Linux exclusively. Most of the code has been written with the Linux OS in mind,
so porting it to a Windows environment would be a LARGE undertaking.

However, If you wish to give Linux a try, I will be happy to send you a copy of what I have currently working.
Your comment about Windows software costing $$$ is one of the MANY reasons I abandoned M.S. MANY years ago.
Almost ALL of the software available for Linux (including the Operating System) is $0.

dang I was hoping it would work for ya lol.
I’m not sure what I’m able to do to figure out what options we can use in those fields. As for the software, when you need a tester let me know. I do use Linux , just not often as it’s my computer that I only pull out for unix programs for some stuff. But free program for the r30 would be a game changer and I’ll test when possible

I'm more than happy to e-mail you what I currently have. The code is FAR from finished, but usable.
It's a bit too big to attach here. Where should I send it to?
