[Dxbase] Shared serial port

[Merv Schweigert]

I do not know if this works with Icom,  but with the K3 , DXbase, and 
other programs I
can share the port using software from N8LP that is used with LP-pan,  
its a free download
and will allow you to share the same port. 
There are also a couple other software programs that do the same thing.  
Would have to
dig deep to find the info on who the others are.
Maybe worth a look at the LP site to see if will work with Icom.
