[ICOM] Using Microham Microkeyer II with IC7600

[Gary P. Fiber]

You do have the flexibility to change the CI-V address of the IC-7600 to 
something the microKeyer has in its listing.
You might give up a CI-V function or two. I am sure the other things 
like the AFSK, FSK, CW keying will work fine as those are not software 
related unless the microKeyer uses CI-V commands to make those features 
function. Icom surely does not change the CI-V command number for each 
product so most CI-V commands will be common between both the IC-7600 
and IC-7700. There may be a feature difference between the 2 products 
though.
You may need to download both the 7600 and 7700  manuals to print out 
the CI-V commands from each to compare them.
The microKeyer looks to be a pretty nifty product. Have you contacted 
the microKeyer company to see about updates to their product?
