Download

Please download the Zip file from the link below. Unzip it and put the folder to a directory of your preference. The software generates an ini (initialization) file in the same folder of the utility software after the program is closed.

Installation and Uninstallation

Please uninstall older versions through Add / Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel before start using the new version. The most updated version is an executable file and does not require an installation. To uninstall, just delete the complete folder.

Please be sure to install driver software of ERW-7/15 before start using it. Please check Windows’ Device Manager program to make sure the port assignment of the cable. [Port(COM and LPT)>USB Serial Port (COM*)]
Mount the EDS-14 or EDS-10 cable to the DJ-G7's accessory port. Be sure to screw the plug until l it stops. By using 3.5mm/2.5mm conversion plug, connect the ERW-7/15 plug to EDS-14/10's smaller jack (microphone port).
Turn on the DJ-G7. Press and hold MONI key then press PTT 3 times to enter to the CLONE mode. "CLONE 57600pbs" will be displayed on the screen of G7.

Select the assigned Com port # in the tool-bar menu “COM-port(C)”.

The most common causes of troubles are COM-PORT setting related. Please be advised that the frequency-editing columns accept only ASCII-coded numbers and period. Other characters will be disregarded or can't be entered. If error occurs during the cloning operation, just turn off the G7, reset it and retry. Errors won't cause troubles to your DJ-G7.

Please be advised that this utility is much slower than other Alinco editors due to G7's larger memory capacity, complicated and numerous operating parameters.
For faster operation, minimize the use of "Write ALL/Read ALL" commands but use specific write/read commands as much as possible.

Operations

  • Before start cloning, PLEASE SAVE THE DATA ALWAYS as a backup. Please select the model of your DJ-G7 in the check box appears when the program starts. All models other than Japanese J and American T, please select "Other", such as E and EG.
  • To edit memories, please use the Memory tab. Click on the line you wish to edit so that another editor window pops up. You may also use import/export function so that you can edit the memory data using common CSV format. The utility-listening frequencies are supported only in the SUB band side. MAIN band can display only frequencies close to amateur radio bands. Please read the instruction manual of your G7 for the details of supported frequencies.
  • For the bank tab, you can set banks up to 50 but the total number of memory channels must always be 1000 in total. Please observe the right bottom column and make it 1000 before quit editing.
  • "Title Name" feature in the common setting tab replaces the animated opening image with up to 16 characters of your preference. Please leave it blank to use original animated image.
  • About [FONT] menu : You may create characters or symbols of your preference using this feature and display them as fonts on G7's screen. Click [FONT] button on the Common-set tab to display the editor menu. Click on the square to make your own fonts. One square corresponds to one dot on the LCD. After the programming is completed, save it by clicking the file menu in the tool-bar. To display the fonts, select the font you like, and assign a number using the pull-down box at the left. Click OK on the right. In the Title menu on the Common-set or in the Memory editing menu, there are 8 numeric buttons. These buttons corresponds the number you registered in the pull-down menu. When you press [1], instead of the character you created, [ ;1~] is displayed. You may create the fonts as much as you want, but you can register them up to 8 at a time, and OVERWRITES the previously registered fonts. For example you assigned a font ";-)" to the number 1 today and wrote " ;-) Hello" in the title. Next day, you assigned a font [@@] to the number 1 and edited a memory tag. In this case the memory tag will be all right but the title will become [@@Hello]. Perhaps the best way to manage these fonts would be that you make the memory data and font data together, keep them in a same sub-folder, so that when you load the memory file you also load the corresponding font file.
Sorry, please do not contact us for how to use the program, as the interface is very simple and does only the DJ-G7 programming. The updates will be posted here as soon as available.
