Many of Icom’s transceivers from the last 20 years will work to some degree with wfview, and we are always adding more.

Even though our target platform consists of modern-era transceivers, wfview’s command dictionary is focused on commands with the most compatibility. Wfview has been developed with an eye towards compatibility. The server can be a humble Raspberry Pi or a normal desktop computer. On the IC-7300 (and other non-network rigs), wfview can serve as a USB to Ethernet “bridge”, connecting the IC-7300 to the network for remote control and live streaming full-duplex audio using another instance of wfview on a remote computer. Special care was taken in the creation of the network code for very low latency audio - ideal for general QSOs as well as time-sensitive modes such as FT8 and JT65. On rigs with built-in network interfaces (such as the IC-705, IC-7610, IC-7850, IC-R8600, and IC-9700), live audio streaming is available for both receive and transmit. Wfview provides the user with controls that may be comfortably operated from a keyboard, mouse, or touch screen interface.
