Hi Jim (and all), I got a number of suggestions both here and privately, thanks to everyone. To summarize: For #2, I did adjust the rig file myself, and I'll be happy to pass it on to anyone who is interested. And as Jim suggests, so far everything I've seen seems to indicate that I still

After the smoke escaped from my trusty Icom 756 Pro II, I bit the bullet and upgraded to an Icom 7600. For the 756, I had one COM port configured for CI-V radio control through a CT-17 interface, and a second COM port set up for CW keying using a Rigblaster. With the USB interface, I've
