[DXBase] Level converters for DXBase and ICOM 718

Fri, 5 Jul 2002 10:02:46 -0700

I'm interested in learning which aftermarket level converters are =
successfully connecting ICOM radios, especially the 718, with DXBase.
I'm new to computer logging. I've learned that there are 3-wire =
software only handshake converters, and 5-wire hardware handshake =
converters. I think, but don't know, that the 5-wire converters will =
also do software handshake. I suspect, but don't know, that the ICOM =
CT-17 converter is a 5-wire hardware handshake device.
I'd like to find a successful less expensive option. I plan a single =
computer, single radio system. The CT-17 allows connection of up to 4 =
radios to a single computer. Most of the aftermarket designs I've =
learned about are 3-wire for a single computer, single radio.
DXBase requires hardware handshaking I'm told (from Courtney).
Thanks for any advice or help.
