[ICOM] IC-706MKIIG & CT-17

[N5PA]

Jim:

Thanks for the input!  Changing it to a fixed baud rate is about the only
thing I have not done.  I have worked in the computer field for 32 years and
when something this simple does not work it bothers me.  I will try it when
I get home late tonight.  I use this rig for 6 meters and I do not like to
do things manually, especially in a contest.  If this works, then all I need
to do is figure out why I can not put a splitter in and key my headset and
the amp at the same time.  When I plug the cable into the back of the amp it
keys up.  I am wondering if I have the ground swapped on the headset jack.
Thanks again for your input.

Don't set the baud rate to auto on either end. Use 9600 in the radio and
in WriteLog.  In Writelog, make sure your writelog.ini file is correct.

I am trying to hook my IC-706MKIIG to DX4WIN and WriteLog via my CT-17
computer interface.  I thought it would be straight forward.  I hooked
the
CT-17 to COM4, power to my power supply, and the single cable with the
two
1/8 inch phono plugs to the CT-17 and the IC-706MKIIG.  The original hex
address on the 706 was 58H and that did not work and then I changed it
to
48H and that did not work, either.  I left the baud rate on the radio
set at
AUTO.  This seems like a fairly straightforward installation and it does
not
work.  Any help would be appreciated.
