[Icom] Icom Radio Interface For Sale

Sun, 20 Jan 2002 16:16:59 -0800

http://www.icomamerica.com/support/documents/pw1-756.html says 

    1. connect your CT-17 to your PC (with a standard serial port cable)

    2. connect your transceiver to CT17 output 1 (a CI-V bus connection)

    3. connect your PW-1 to CT-17 output 2 (a CI-V bus connection)

I believe that these two CT17 outputs convey the same CI-V bus signal --
effectively creating a Y-connector -- but will defer to someone with a
CT17 schematic. The PW-1 changes frequency by capturing the CI-V
messages sent by the transceiver when it QSYs. 

The CI-V bus is simple open-collector TTL, and the protocol includes
collision detection. Its designed to support multiple transceivers,
though in this application the PW-1 is a passive monitor.

Hi Dave - that was my understanding, too, but it won't work.  The PW-1
requires a serial data cable as well as the Icom rig and it MUST go
through a CT-17, or equivalent, or the computer or the PW-1 won't
change frequency.  If you are in doubt, go to www.icomamerica.com and
click on "support" and then either "technical bulletins" or "FAQ's".
