[Logic] Icom Multiple Rigs and CI-V - Update

[Jeff Griffin]

 I recently added an Icom 910H to my station. I have a homebrew TTL to 232
cable I use, with a splitter added to access both Icom's. I was suprized
when I looked at a CT-17 schematic and saw that is nothing more then a TTL
to 232 cable split 4 ways in a fancy box! There is a bug in Logic6 that
Dennis knows about, he said he will fix in a future release. He also told me
that if I used 2 com ports with 2 cables it should work 100%. I noticed that
if I set CI-trn off on the 910 I won't affect the 756 PRO, when I make a
mode change to the 910. Of course I have different address' set for the two
rig's. So only thing that doesn't  work is if I tune ,change bands, mode ,
etc on the 910 Logic6 won't see it. All else work's, including the all
important QSY to a DX spot, or log entry. So the bug in my opinion , is no
big deal....
