[ICOM] Question about the CT-17 Level Converter

[Larry]

Back in mid 90s, I obtained the diagram for the CT-17 which was then going 
for around $100. To see what the true cost could be, I abandoned my junk 
box & bought all new parts - and I mean ALL new parts. The cost was $13 & I 
know that the price of the MAX232 has dropped considerably.

If anyone is interested, I'll be glad to again send the diagram if 
requested directly to my email address - see below. I think I've shipped 
out about 70 copies thus far.
