[Dxbase] ICOM 756 Pro II Remote Control

Sun Dec 11 14:54:09 EST 2005

One further note in support of an actual Icom CT-17 Level Converter. The
CT-17 allows connection of up to four different pieces of Icom equipment
through a single serial RS232 connection. In my case I control both my
ICOM-756Pro and ICOM PW-1 amp through the CT-17. The after market cable
connectors are significantly cheaper on a one to one basis, but if you need
to purchase three or four of them the cost differential shrinks. Not to
mention the need for multiple serial ports on the computer - a commodity
that is getting harder and harder to find.
