[Mirko Sibilja]

Just a dumb question - did you set radio receiver address?

>   From what I understand the CIV (or remote) jack on the 756PRO should
measure between +4 and +5 volts.  When you turn on the CIV transcieve option
from the menu on the radio and turn the VFO the voltage should  drop
somewhat.  I have double checked to make sure the baud rate is set correctly
on both the radio and programs. I have also checked my computer and there
are no conflicts on the serial  port - COM1.

that I have for my TS850S radio control box - just a DB25 - DB9 cable. I am
using a 3.5mm mono  plug from the CT-17 to the CIV jack on the radio.  It
powers up just fine when 12 volts is applied.
