[ICOM] CI-V question

[Steve]

Hi all,

I need some advice on what I believe is a CI-V issue.

My normal configuration is a IC-7800 and IC-PW1 linked to a PC with an 
Icom CT17 interface. For logging software, I use N1MM Logger during 
contests, otherwise the DXLabs suite. Each of those softwares have an 
interface with the radio and I use them routinely. I used N1MM Logger 
last weekend and all was well.

I've made no changes (that I know of) since last weekend but now I have 
a problem. In setting up for this weekend's contest, I find that the PC 
can receive data from the radio but does not seem to be able to send 
commands to the radio. So last weekend I could change bands, modes, 
frequency, etc., from the keyboard and now cannot. It seems the PC 
continues to receive frequency from the radio as long as CI-V transceive 
is set to ON.

I substituted a IC756PROIII in for the radio, same results. I tried two 
other computers with both radios, same result.

The CT17 is the common element in these various scenarios. Anyone 
experienced this type of failure mode for the CT17?

Any ideas? Maybe I'm overlooking something simple?
