[DXBase] serial interface to icom 756pro

2002年4月23日 10:03:24 -0500

As to the 756Pro frequency control, the cable you will need will be a
'modem' cable which will connect between your computer (probably a 9 pin) to
the CT-17 (which is a 25 pin). Here is a description of the cable
9 pin female 25 pin male
1 to 8
2 to 2
3 to 3
4 to 6
5 to 7
6 to 20
7 to 5
8 to 4
9 to 22
shell to shell (ground)
Actually only a few of these lines are really needed. The CT-17 booklet
describes what you actually need, I think 3 wires will do it. But the cable
I describe should be available locally in a consumer electronics store, such
as Radio Shack or Best Buy.
The CT-17 connects to the radio with a cable with 1/8th inch mono
plugs...that could be a little hard to find, but it should have come with
the CT-17.
The CT-17 is way overpriced..there is at least one simple replacement for it
at a fraction of the cost...I think I saw it at http://www.hosenose.com but
could be wrong. It could have been on the NA contest program page.
As to the rigblaster I don't have one but I don't see how it would use any
of these connections...only thing I can think of would be using DTR perhaps
for push to talk, but that would be on another com port most likely.
