IC-7300 SWR Checker

This Python script allows you to check the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) on an Icom IC-7300 radio and increment the VFO (Variable Frequency Oscillator) by 1 kHz within a specified frequency range. It also provides the option to save the SWR readings to a CSV file.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.x
  • pyserial library

Installation

  1. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/parttimelegend/ic-7300-swr-checker.git

  2. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd ic-7300-swr-checker

  3. Install the required dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

  1. Connect your Icom IC-7300 radio to your computer via the appropriate serial interface.

  2. Run the script:

    python main.py

  3. Follow the on-screen prompts to enter the start and end frequencies, serial port name, and CSV file name to save the results.

  4. The script will increment the frequency by 1 kHz, print the SWR at each step, and save the results to the specified CSV file.
