Welcome to the list Dave.  I doubt that you will have to label things on the 
rig.  Don't know about others but I after using my rig for a while and after 
the help that you can get from, I can work this thing. com which you may be 
able to download the functions of all the buttons and then after a while you 
will know them all very easily.  If I can do it anyone can I think.  Good 
luck and 73

Greetings all from new list member, Dave - AD8B. I am currently experiencing 
rapid loss of vision. It is unknown how far my condition will progress.

I have an IC-7600 with a USB connection to ACLog using Icom’s USB comm port 
simulator.  A large computer monitor is on order.  Since ACLog is scalable 
and very legible I plan to keep using it.  I need to address the tiny 
buttons and labels on the 7600.  The simplest approach for now may be to 
print exploded views of each front panel section as a guide.

This week I plan to try using N4PY’s rig control software.  However, I 
anticipate a problem keeping the 7600 communicating with both the logging 
program and the rig control software.  There is apparently a way to use text 
file transfer (Pegasus?) to move information between N4PY’s software and 
ACLog.  Or, perhaps there’s a way to use USB for one connection and a CI-V 
serial connection for the other.

Comments?  Or places this ground has already been plowed and reported on?

Thanks,
Dave
