[Icom] CT -17 interface

[R Goodspeed (W7DGX)]

Hello Ekki,

I am surprised at your problem. My understanding of the Icom interface doesn't
explain your situation. Apparently I don't understand the interface.

When I read the Icom radio instruction books, the radios do not broadcast their
frequencies without a request from a computer. When such a request is made, only
the radio that the request is addressed to would respond with its VFO frequency.

Is it possible that your computer when reading a new frequency, commands the VFO
to the frequency just received?? Secondly is it possible for all four radios to
have the same radio address??

I'll admit I am confused. Could somebody explain??
