So, perhaps I can call them Tuesday unless someone else.....???? if so, my question is whether rig control can be done from the pc using only the interface cable. if so, which IC txcvrs??? Using ICOM software??? to me, this is essentially a matter of laplinking.... to simplify it. there is a computer in the radio, why not use interfacing software to connect it to a software program on the pc and use that to tell the rig, what to do??? I know that the new Kenwood has an -x model which is a plain box which requires hooking up to a pc to operate it. isfai can tell, that model cannot even be operated without a personal computer. 73 -- K5DAM Houston EL29fu AAR6TU http://tinyurl.com/df55x (BPL Presentation) Need a Digital mode QSO?
