[ICOM] ct17 and 706mkIIG

[Dave]

Paying attention to the title of your email message, I see that you are
running a 706mkIIG, for which the hexadecimal CI-V address is indeed 58.
Verify that your transceiver control software is not expecting a decimal
value, which would be 88.

If that's not it, verify that the serial port parameters are set to 8-bit
words, no parity, and 2 stop bits. The CT-17 CI-V interface is independently
powered, so there's no need to assert a modem control signal for its
benefit. Correct cable connectivity would be the next thing to check.

The 706 CI-V address is 48 (hexadecimal), which is 72 (decimal). I don't
know whether your transceiver control software wants the address specified
in hexadecimal or decimal, but 58 is wrong is either case.
