[ICOM] Computer Control

USB in this case refers to Universal Service Bus, not Upper Side Band.

MY R10 has USB and LSB and CW -- but be aware that you are not going to be
able to hang that receiver on a big antenna - it will just be useless with
overload/intermod etc etc -- works great with tuned loops -- makes a great
RFI hunting reciever with the tuned loops - mine does meet the advertised
sensitivity specs easily - but if you try to hang it on for instance a 40
meter dipole - no joy - even with the 20 db internal attenuator .. Rgds..
