I beg to differ.

You can use as many radios as you have unique addresses for and your control
software will support. It's all serial communications, there is no such
thing as CI-V Protocol it's all serial and the supporting software must
issue the ICOM pre defined commands for each radio in question.

Kelly,

The CI-V protocol allows you to use up to 4 supported radios simultaneously.
