[Dxbase] Icom 706MKIIG rig interface

George,
I've not seen any mention of how you set the port handshaking options in 
DXbase for cdt, dtr, etc.... Perhaps you don't have those set for that 
radio's needs. Usually dtr can be left unchecked and the others checked but 
maybe someone with that radio working can tell you the correct settings. 
Just a thought. As long as you have the DXbase options set to agree with 
the radio, there really isn't much else to it.
Jack
