Tom, All you'll need is two good quality USB to CI-V cables. I've played with one with my Icom IC-R10 receiver that I got on eBay, but I'll let others who use more Icom equipment than me make specific recommendations. The problem with some of the cheap ones is the proliferation of counterfeit and poor quality USB to RS-232 chipsets from China.
When you get the cables, set the two IC-706 CI-Vs to different addresses in the menu, and you can set them up in SatPC32 no problem. Of course, you can always just tune each radio manually! I find manual Doppler correction to be fun and even if I had a permanent home station, I'd probably operate manually a good portion of the time. 73, Paul, N8HM On Wed, Jul 30, 2014 at 8:09 AM, Tom Warren <mtn...@hartcom.net> wrote: > > Hello to the group…….. > > Does anyone have the specifics on how to setup two IC706 MKII-G’s for > satellite ssb/cw operation (duplex). > > I’ve done a bit of browsing and read the manual but remain confused on the > hardware needed when using > my Compaq laptop (no serial port), only USB’s. > > > Any advise would be appreciated. > > 73 > Tom > W4TMW > > > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
