We have discovered that one feature of Icom rigs that wfview relies on, CI-V transceive, is disabled on a number of users radios. This MUST be enabled for wfview to function correctly and can be configured via MENU/Set/Connectors/CI-V/CI-V Transceive = ON. Please see the Getting Started chapter of the User Manual for more details.
macOS users may also choose to install using macports (although it may be somewhat outdated).

Notes:
The Windows build requires the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime (x86) which is included in the download but is also available from:https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe
The MacOS build (since v1.2c) is signed and notarised by Apple so should not require approval to run. If you have previously downloaded this build and were unable to get rig audio working, please re-download as we have (hopefully) fixed this. Currently, we recommend trying higher latency on the receive audio if there are issues, and/or using an external audio interface (may or may not help).
If you experience any issues with these downloads please sign up on the wfview support and discussion forum at https://forum.wfview.org/. Once you sign up, you can use either email or the web interface to post questions and discuss wfview.
