[ICOM] IC-781 CIV converter problem

[Lee Mairs (SAG)]

After working flawlessly for close to eighteen years, My IC-781 seems to 
have developed a flaw.

I last used the IC-781 as a WINLINK 2 station on MARS.  Everything 
worked fine until I left WBGV for a summer in NY.  On my return, the 
IC-781 no longer responds to frequency change signals from the WL2K 
software.  I hooked it up to my AC Log program which has a great 
interface for checking radio interface operations and discovered that 
while the IC-781 responded to PTT commands and sent PACTOR, it was not 
setting the frequency as it was supposed to.  I have checked all the CIV 
assignments, baud rates, and COM port assignements and everything is as 
it should be.  I even shifter to a different COM port without any joy.

The only other thing left (other than the IC-781) is the W1GEE serial to 
CIV converter that plugs into the REMOTE hole on the IC 781.

Any other ideas?
