I was getting ready to deal with or order a cable for computer control of my
new IC-706 SSB.. Since Icom included a Jack, thought, no big deal, until I
looked for details in the manual..
$#@$!%$%%^ C1-V to RS232 converter what the $^&^*
Sure enough Icom sells this Level Convertor (CT-17) for $129. "For remote
transceiver control using a personal computer with RS-232C port. You can
change Freq/Operating mode etc.) * Does not include cable or software "
&^#%^ "doesn't include cable or software"?? When is it going to end??
Yah! I know I could just tune the transceiver manually, but I'm not a Ham
and therefore don't have the requisite Giant Thumb and Forefinger for
tweaking that "Big Knob".
Are there any alterniative converters (must be) for this purpose??
