One other thing to consider:
When it comes to DSP you want to look for DSP that is done before the IF
stage not what is commonly referred to as AF-DSP which is DSP filtering done
in the audio stage of the radio instead of the IF stage.
AF-DSP does nasty things when signals get close in and are strong.

Also remember when you say Icom you are saying tentec because as far as the
CI-V protocol they both use the same computer control methods and protocol.
Might add they also both do not report the second VFO and on some of the
older icoms you cannot command it into split operation using computer
control only manually.
For contesting and computer control *in my opinion* Yaesu is the way to go
as long as you filter up and do your mods all the others lack all the wrong
things.

Joe stay away from ICOM. They make you buy extra 'shtuff' to connect
their
rigs to a computer. Yaesu and Kenwood are pretty much straight forward,
plug-n-play.
Good Luck

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Computer Controlled Rigs.
Has anyone made a list of all the rigs that can be computer controlled?
I'm going to be in the market to get a used rig, (new to me, I mean
really new to me my rig now is a Drake TR-4!) But If I'm going to
upgrade, I may as well at least go as high as a rig that can be
computer
controlled.
Now Nothing New mind you, I can not afford them thats for sure! So I
was wondering if anyone has made a web page that has listed what rigs
are computer controllable for use with many of the logging programs
like
N1MM, N3FJP etc.
