[ICOM] CI-V device not reading frequency

[Larry]

Remember with USB you are talking about 5 volts or less, so if you are
splitting and sending the signal to other devices like controlling a rotor
or an antenna like a SteppIR. There will not be enough power to do all. You
can either get a CT-17 or clone that gives you at least 12 volts. That goes
for long runs as well and one of the reasons these cheap devices come like
they do. In most cases they are fine but be sure you know what you are going
to use them for.

Here is the link to where I bought mine. $13. delivered. Be aware that this
is a short cable and you may require an extension. If you want RS232 scroll
down the page and click on the page that says RS-232.

If the above link does not work. go to E-Bay and search for CI-V interface
cable. Look at buy it now for "KAWA" They are $4.99 + $8.01 shipping.
