[Dxbase] Icom CI-V connections

[David Gynn]

Hi Folks

Although this is a little off track I wonder if anyone can help me.

For some time I have operated with DxBase 2005, RigBlaster Pro, Icom 7800 
and a Steppir 3 El Beam all operating quite satisfactorily at 9600 baud via 
the CI-V connections.

I have added in the last few days a Icom PW-1 Euro and now it's a nightmare 
to get the lot to stay together.  If connect the Icom 7800 directly to the 
PW-1 that will work, then if I add in the other units it all eventually 
works but then for no reason one or other decides to ignore the CI-V messages.

I have spoken with Icom Uk and they have emailed Icom Japan but as yet no 
reply.  I should add I have followed the Icom America suggestions on how to 
get various rigs working with the PW-1 but that doesn't help in this 
case.  It would appear to be a problem with the number of CI-V units connected.

Each morning after switching off at night I have to go through the whole 
proceedure....

I would appreciate any suggestions.
