[ICOM] Computer Control Interface

[AD5VJ Bob]

OK I tried it and it didn't work.

What is the USB-D mode? Can it only be used through the
ACC 1 port?

Not happy the decision to give up on FSK and work only
soundcard, I have now tried my BUXCOMM RASCAL which works
great with the FSK, it is just fine.

However I cant seem to get it to work correctly with the
soundcard modes such as PSK.

What is the USB-D mode? The manual says virtually nothing
about it except that it exists, how to get to it and that
when in USB-D mode it mutes the microphone.

So can I assume since it mutes the mic that I need to use
the ACC 1 instead of the mic input that I use with the
MFJ-1279?

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
