[Dxbase] ICOM 706MKIIG

Wed Jan 18 14:54:11 EST 2006

Well, I'm still trying to interface my 706MKIIG.
I have a USB to Serial adapter that comes up (in device manager) as COM4.
I am using an interface cable by N9ZLE, that has two outputs, one serial 
data and one "CW".
I have loaded the DXbase CW drivers as WIN XP. I have selected the CW 
interface as "InternalDXbase keyer" and selected Dxb24COM4 as the com port.
I have "ICOM" & IC-706MKIIG selected,COM4, 9600, none, 8, 1. I have CTS 
checked.
The radio interface works properly, click on a spot and the radio 
follows etc.
But, I can not get the CW to work (on a DELL INSPIRON 2200 notebook), 
Windows XP).
I have exactly the same installation on my Toshiba laptop running 
Windows 98SE (built in serial port, COM1), radio control and CW work 
perfectly.
Someone out there has to have solved "THIS" mystery.
Thanks
