F4021 Programming Help

[King_James]

Members of this forum,

Please kindly help me. I have a problem on programming my radio.
Model is Icom F4021. I have the cable and software installed, However i'm getting errors
like: "No answer from the receiver", Check cloning cable, make sure power is turned on.

Have any encountered this problem before?

What i'm planning to do is set the individual channel for each radio. I have 20 units to program.
Is there some sort of special keys to press before turning on the unit to access the option
wherein I can change the channel individually?

If any one can provide a programming manual, please kindly email me.

Thanks,

King_James

1. Plug in the programming cable to your computer. Then using >System Tools> Device Manager> COM ports, see which COM port the cable is using.

Now, plug in the cable to the radio, turn the radio on, and DONT press any buttons.

Open the software, and open the com port setting to see which com port the software is going to use.

Make sure the com port for the software is the same as what the cable is plugged into.

Now, use the software to read the radio. make the changes and write to the radio, done.

Steven,

Thank you for the quick reply. I have tried following the steps you mentioned here, unfortunately the radio wasn't detected still.

When connecting the com port, should it install and have a different icon in device manager?

Will the com port cable install itself or does it need a driver?

Is there a programming manual separately distributed by ICOM for
the F4021 model? I read the manual for the unit but programming
was not included there.

I really appreciate your time and help answering my queries.


Best regards,

King_James
