Hello Michael

I have a IC-706MKIIG I am using presently in my shack and it is 
interfaced to my Computer as we speak! I get a good waterfall on my 
software from my SignaLink USB I have the RX audio gain at 12 )'clock 
and get a great waterfall. I homebrewed my 6 pin Mini Din cable myself 
to boot. You did not say whether you were using the Mini Din data port 
or the 13 Pin larger Din plug. I  recall not getting enough waterfall 
drive from the 13 Pin Din when experimenting around with Homebrew 
Interface. I made the mistake and ordered my SignaLink USB with a 
unterminated cable so I could use it om my FT-GX brothers FT757GX & it's 
bigger FT-767GX. I wonder if something is wrong with your Cable? I get 
better waterfall drive from my IC-706MKIIG then I get from my FT-757 or 
767GX radios. I will tell you all a little Secret there is nothing 
special about the SignaLinks unterminated Radio Cable it is Standard 
RJ-45 LAN Cable the Colour Code is the same. I found a spare piece and 
confirmed that point when I made up my own cable for my IC-751A. I hope 
that helps Michael.
