You would think it’s that simple, but no. Icom’s required CT-17
level-converter, at $139, only works with an RS-232 connection on the PC.
USB-9pin converters are evidently not supported.
Very frustrating. This was a top of the line rig not too long ago. Built-in
Ethernet. Built-in RTTY and PSK.

According to the manual there is a DB-9 connector for CAT control.
Just need a USB adapter since the 7700 is already in WSJT-X with serial port
control.

Has ANYONE successfully deployed WSJT-X on an Icom IC-7700, using the Icom
RS-BA1 software for the virtual serial porting via the ethernet port on the
rig? For those not aware, the 7700 has no conventional bidirectional USB
ports to couple a PC; the only way to allow a PC app to interface via the
LAN.
While I'm successful with the audio, there's no CAT control...and thus, no
DXpedition Mode capability.
