Most commands and command line options take arguments, although many arguments can be defaulted. A remote operator can control the receiver via a telnet session and use the feature to control the gain, select the input port and mute the speaker as necessary. The receiver audio is connected to the workstation and a MBONE session started with the vat audio tool running. This feature can be used in connection with multimedia conferencing programs developed by the Internet research community.

It also includes an optional feature to control the audio codec on Sun workstations. The program includes features to control scanning on some radios and transmit duplex/split on others. With the minimuf program (available in a separate distribution), it is possible to build shell scripts that predict the most likely frequencies and tune the radio accordingly. Using a suitably crafted Unix crontab file, it is possible to tune a radio to different frequencies used by a shortwave broadcaster throughout the day, for example. Options on the command line can be used to select the radio model and set the frequency and mode. Shortcut arrow keys on the keyboard (not the numeric keypad) are used to do routine things like tune up/down or increase/decrease the tuning rate. In this mode, most routine keystrokes use the numeric keypad to enter arguments, and the arguments are followed by a single character representing the command name. In keypad mode, commands and arguments are entered from the keyboard and numeric keypad following the > prompt. In batch mode, the same commands and arguments are read from the file specified as an option in the command line. In keyboard mode, commands and arguments are entered from the keyboard following the icom> prompt, one command per line, and the complete command set is available. The program operates in one of three modes: keyboard batch, and keypad. The program detects certain anomalistic behavior of some radios and adjusts its operations to make the behavior conform to the model virtual radio. A number of diagnostic tests are performed on the selected radio to determine which options are present and to initialize to a known state. The program can be told which model is present or directed to scan for all known models and report each one found. The program knows about most early and late model ICOM radios. Other functions, such as tuning step, tuning rate and compensation for the actual radio oscillator frequency errors, are performed in software. When implemented, the actual secondary VFO is controlled by loading from, or exchanging contents with, the VFO. All other registers and memory channels are accessed via the VFO, which can be loaded from a selected memory channel, modified and written back to the same or different channel.

The actual VFO frequency, mode and transmit duplex offset is controlled directly by the program. Additional features that can be controlled on some radios are antenna selection, scan control, main dial tuning step and several other functions implemented in the various radio models. Most radios support USB, LSB, AM, CW and RTTY modes some support narrow/wide filters and some support FM modes as well. The virtual radio also includes a variable-frequency oscillator (VFO) scratch register, which controls the actual receiver frequency, and several values used to control the tuning and mode selection functions. Each channel can hold frequency, mode and, in the case of VHF/UHF FM radios, transmit duplex offset. The program implements a virtual radio with a bank of memory channels corresponding to the particular radio model.

Up to four CI-V radios can be connected to a single serial port using a level converter such as the CT-17, which includes a MAX232 chip and not much else. Most recent ICOM radios already have this option older radios can be converted with an appropriate adapter mounted inside the radio. This program controls ICOM radio transceivers and receivers with the CI-V option.
