[ICOM] Warning about W1GEE interface cables

Floyd,

All Icom rigs that have CI-V use the same 2 circuit 1/8 inch "mono" phone 
plug connector. The required data level is TTL voltages, 0 and +5 volts.
The only different CI-V is the IC-735 which uses 4 bit instead of 5 bit 
control data all other Icom's with CI-V use.
If a CI-V interface works for the 765, it also works for the 781, even the 
735 since its not the CI-V port or interface that is different on the 735, 
only the amount of bits of data it uses.

I can't see any reason one of his interfaces works with one Icom and not 
another if they both use CI-V.  There are so many makers of CI-V interfaces 
out there I would find another.
