[EIDXA] Icom and Acom 2000a help

[Scott and Lisa Augsburger]

Hey Guys,
     I was wondering does anyone have experience with Icom 7851, 7800 and 
Acom 2000a. Or knows someone that could be my mentor on this issue?

What I am looking for is how do I need to interface the Acom, Icom, Ham 
radio deluxe, Rig Expert TI-5 and a 2nd rig?

I have an Icom CT-17 civ level controller.  It doesn't want to play at all 
with the amp but everything else works.

When the amp cat system is plugged into the ct-17 it has a loud high pitch 
noise when the amp is turned off, but when plugged directly into the amp to 
radio the sound disappears or when the amp is turned on.

Acording to Jay at Array Solutions he hasn't seen or heard of this problem 
before so he can't help me out. No one else is doing what I am doing.  This 
is hard to believe.  Sounds like passing the buck to me. I guess everyone
that owns a Acom 2000A amp plugs it directly into the radio and doesn't use 
a logging program or interfaces with anything else or has a separte computer 
system.  I was confused about the plug on the CAT system.  It had a tip, 
ring and ground and the civ level has only tip and ground.  But it's still 
TTL coming out the back of the RCU controller.  Jay's only sugestion was 
split the remote line coming out the back of the rig, but that's still TTL 
signal.
He told me to call back when I find out the problem.

Back before my storm filled summer here I had my Icom 7800,  DX4WIN, Rig 
Expert TI-5 and M2 rotor all hooked up and it played very well together.  My 
old amp was an Alpha 76 CA.

This reminds me of computer stuff. New operatoring system nothing works 
until drivers and other things are replaced or upgraded.

Maybe need to call DX Engineering where I bought the rig and see what they 
think or their sugestions are since Array Solutions is not helping.

Maybe subscribe to the yahoo group and see what they think too?

 Where's the good old customer service at anymore? Service after the sale 
not before.

Thanks
Scott
