Fw: [ICOM] IC-706MKIIG & CT-17

Tue Jun 13 09:56:31 EDT 2006

Alan,

The what you describe, besides wrong addresses, speed,  etc, reminds me of
 something else. I have built a couple of CI-V interfaces myself and I have
 learned, they are very sensitive to quality of every particular IC, is it
 MAX232 or similar. At least when the interfaces were using just a single
 MAX232, their attitude was exactly as you describe. Some of the homebuilt
 single-IC interfaces simply did not work at all. Adding some in- and out-
 buffers made the interface fully operational.
To my surprise Icom is using a single IC in their iterface. In fact, it does
 work (currently am using the "indistrial" CT-17 myself, not homemade
 anymore), but I was always affraid, something might happen to an 
unprotected
 IC. That's why I am affraid, in your case the IC itsellf might become
 faulty...

 Do you have any chance to borrow a similar CT-17 from somebody else, just 
to
 make sure, the problem does not lay within the interface itself?

 73,

 Vladimir VE3IAE
