Before installing
Review the Getting Started guide if you have not already installed the Icom USB driver or the ShackScope virtual COM pair. Add OmniRig or other station software only after the basic ShackMaestro/ShackScope setup is working.
Setup integrations gradually
Start by confirming ShackMaestro can communicate directly with the radio, then verify ShackScope. After that, add optional OmniRig, WSJT-X, Log4OM, SDR Console, or other station software one at a time.
Unsigned installer notice
Windows may display a security warning because the beta installer is not yet code signed.
