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.
