[Dx4win] ICOM 765 !

[Louis Malzone]

I had originally reported ( a few weeks ago and got excellent advice off
the reflector) that my CT-17 (CI-V) would not key my IC-765 using
DX4WIN. I borrowed a CT-17 and tested with that unit, and it worked. The
problem is that my CT-17 no longer works. There is no visible damage to
the interior of the CT-17, so I assume that the controller chip is no
longer working.

I don't want to spend $100.00 for a new CT-17 and found the CT-17 Cable
with Key Option from N9ZLE on the QRZ.COM Swapmeet. It lists for $31.00,
including IRC software that provides various rig skins for controlling
rigs, including the 765. The cable is powered from the computer port
using DTR (set to on or high within DX4WIN, I assume).

Does anyone have experience with this product? I have a query in to
N9ZLE and am anticipating a positive answer. Plus he gives a money back
guarantee, so I'm not concerned about that. I would appreciate any
information you may have.

Thanks, and happy New Year!
