Tod, you're right - I misspoke. The PIEXX unit takes OTRSP serial port
commands via a USB vritual port and converts them to the appropriate LPT
commands, rather than actually functioning as a USB to LPT converter.
You might want to talk to W4NZ about this - he beta tested the PIEXX
unit with a DXD, and knows how to make the DXD do lots of tricks.

LPT lines will reflect the currently selected radio so Dave will probably
have no problems. I invested in the Top Ten Band Decoders so that function
is not one I am using out of the DXD. In fact, I have ICOM Top Ten Band
Decoders as a result of a lucky ³buy² from someone leaving SO2R and maybe
even radio. I have no ICOM radios here in ID [yet] . I would be happy to
consider a swap if someone needed them and had ones with the non-ICOM
version.
