For any of you who are having problems, here my experience....
I struggled with the 305 serial interface level controller and just
couldn't get it to talk to my PC, so I bought a cheap Icom CI-V serial
interface cable (female DB9 to mono 1/8" jack) from EBay and played
around with that. Eventually I got it to work. Here's the settings:
Icom IC-736 emulation
serial protocol 1200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
DTR on (it powers the interface electronics)
RTS on
TX/RX address 40 hex
Control E0 hex
The only thing it won't do is switch the PTT line via software, so I do
that via a second COM port on the PC.
You can get USB CI-V interface cables pretty cheaply on EBay. I'll use
one to switch the PTT when I use my one-COM-port laptop.
Hope this helps.
