[ICOM] WTB: CI-V Interface.

[Jim Miller]

Thanks for your post.  I have the radio shack 20-047 laying here and was
wondering what is the functional difference between the ci-V and the CT-17.

The 5 goes to one radio and the 17 can go to 4 radios???

What is really the difference?

Can I put on a splitter and run the 5 to 4 radios?

Is the Radio Shack one  a 5 or a 17?

Thanks es 73, de Jim KG0KP
