[Logic] Multiple Icom Rigs and CT-17 Level Converter

Tue, 28 Oct 2003 06:40:03 -0500

You may want to consider splitting the radios anyway...
If you are using something such as the PW1 amp, it's better to use
transceive instead of polling anyway...
If you do get the W1Gee... You need to set RTS high to power it...
Also, he has some real nice gadgets for CW and PTT keying... Not
expensive, and they work great...
