[ICOM] Computer Interface Problem

[KE5CTY Bob]

I was hoping to try and emulate the "RigExpert" since I can't buy one at
this time.

Do you think I have all I need?

Someone told me I didn't have to isolate the Icom from the audio inputs
with circuitry because Icom does that as a natural part of their design
so you just hook them up directly to the inputs and outputs.

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.

Hi Bob:

The cables that are shown on the URL in your email are designed to 
connect the "RigExpert" interface unit to your radio and the computer. 
See: http://www.mixw.net/RigExpert/.

I am using the "RigExpert Tiny" (http://www.mixw.net/RigExpertTiny/) 
with my IC-756 ProII.  It works great.

The "RigExpert" and the "RigExpert Tiny" replace Icom's grossly 
overpriced CT-17 CI-V level converter and also include interface 
connections for the PC's sound card as well as PTT and CW keying 
connections for the radio.   In addition, they interface with your PC by

USB instead of a Serial port.

73,

Woody

I have an Icom 728 and am trying to do an interface to my computer.

It looks like (according to this link) that I only need to use my serial
cable for controlling the rig and for audio input and output.

Can someone confirm this for me?
