[ICOM] CI-V "transceiver" mode?

[Mike - K8LH]

Hi Doug,

I'm not sure what it would take to produce a kit but with daughter #1 in 
college and daughter #2 not far behind, I would be very interested in 
putting together a kit...  I'm laying out a new printed circuit board 
design now...  Coming up with a nice cabinet is a problem...

Regards, Mike...
