John,
I was using my IC-718 with full CAT control without the CT-17 using a
cable from XGGCOMMS.com ... this one looks like the one you need:
**Icom CAT IC-Cable-7-USB-ISO**
The interface offers full USB CAT Control and 600:600 Ohm transformer
isolated audio interfacing of your Icom Transceiver allowing you to
fully utilise software such as Ham Radio Deluxe, PSK31, DM780, N1MM
Logger, MixW and many more.
The USB CAT part of the interface uses the highly reliable FTDI Chipset.
The audio cable uses high quality Bourns 600:600 Ohm transformers to
galvanically isolate the audio circuits to reduce the chance of ground
loops and induced mains hum and is terminated in the 8 pin Din Accessory
connector. See the radio compatibility list below.
With this interface, you will be up and running on PSK31, SSTV, Pactor,
Packet or any mode that requires CAT control and Tx/Rx Audio Interfacing
between your PC Soundcard and Radio within minutes.
*Full CAT control with PTT and Isolated TX/Rx Audio on these Icom
tranceivers.*
**IC-746, IC-746 Pro, IC-756 Pro, IC-756 Pro 2, IC-756 Pro3,**IC-910H,
IC-7400, IC-7600, IC-7700, IC-7800*
*
* The standard cable length is 1.8m
*$46*
(+ postage: $12)
Hope this helps.

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.
TIA & 73,
