[ICOM] CT-17 & MAX 232

[Jim Hargrave]

Jack,

The MAX232 comes in various pin and socket configurations. Just be sure what
you order fits the board your trying to repair.

You can get detailed information at:

http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX220-MAX249.pdf

It appears that the MAX232ACPE and MAX232CPE are interchangeable.
I could not find the MAX232ECPE.
