Dave You will need the ICOM CT-17 box to interface your computer and your radio. This box supports up to 4 radios and is overly expensive. There are several low cost alternatives which control a single radio which should be enough for most everyone. I don't have the URL's right at hand but I can find them later.
You will need my radios.ini files which are corrections to the ones that DXbase distributtes, but which will be incorporated into dXBase2003 I am pretty sure. They are attached. Personally I am mad at ICOM for leaving out needed functionallity in their computer interface, and for being impossible to deal with. I don't buy another ICOM unless they get their act together!!! And I am a long time user with 2 ICOM 781's, a 706 and now a 756 Pro II. Looking to switch!!!
