The laptop “thinks” that it has 2 sound cards when the IC-9100 is on – the “original” sound card that plays music and beeps when Windows misbehaves and the “OTHER” sound card, the one inside the IC-9100 that is used by DM780!ĭropbox is a neat utility that allows you to keep some Windows folders (directories) in sync across ANY other computer that also has Dropbox logged in with the same account. For those who have used any (either internal or external) sound card to work HF digital modes – the IC-9100 sound card “emulation” works EXACTLY the same way. I use DM780 as my preferred HF digital terminal emulator – the IC-9100 sound card operates much like an external TNC, Tigerlink, or other generic data mode terminal.

The serial port interface is the old, reliable CI-V workhorse of the Icom line – it allows rig control from the laptop. The IC-9100 has 2 different functions/devices which work over the USB cable: the first device emulates a serial port and the other device emulates a sound card. Starting with the hardware pieces, the IC-9100 is connected to the laptop with a USB cable. Your mileage may vary – in fact, you might not even get a single mile out of any of them cons of each of these software packages/suites – just saying what I have chosen for my particular use.

Oracle’s Virtualbox (virtual machine operating environment).

Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) – primarily the Logbook and DM780.

To make a really, REALLY long story much shorter here are some of my favorite computer software packages related to ham radio as well:

Kenwood TK-981 mobile (as a base station).

Generic laptop computer connected to the KJ4WLH wireless network and also connected to the IC-9100.

6m loop, 2m loop, and 70cm loop antennas.

2m vertical, 70cm vertical, and 900MHz vertical antennas.

Palstar AT2K tuner (manual tuning required).

40m dipole (doublet), balanced line (ladder line) going into a balun with a short run of coax going into the AT2K.

My main rig is an ICOM IC-9100 I use this rig for just about everything.

Gear located in my outside (detached) shed as follows: This month, I’d like to share my operating environment – my gear, some software and network information, where the gear is located, and how I like to operate. Last month I gave some reasons why I became interested in operating remotely.
